Light & Crispy Baked Onion Rings

Instructions

1. Peel onions and slice into ½½" thick rings. Place sliced onions in a large freezer bag with 1 cup of buttermilk and let sit at least 30 minutes turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F.
3. Mix buttermilk, eggs and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, combine Panko Bread Crumbs, olive oil and seasonings.
5. Remove onions from the ziploc bag and drain well. Place onions in a bag with 1/2 cup of flour and shake to coat.
6. Separate the Panko mixture into 2 small bowls (this is important because the mixture gets damp and doesn't stick after a while). One by one, dip each onion into the egg mixture and then into the Panko mixture to coat.
7. Place on a parchment lined pan. Bake 10 minutes, flip over and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until browned and crispy.
8. Sprinkle with additional seasoning salt if desired and serve with ketchup!
