Crispy Baked Onion Rings with Garlic Ranch

Love onion rings but hate the extra fat when they’re deep fried? Bake ’em! Crispy Baked Onion Rings With Garlic Ranch are a healthy way to have the taste you crave.

With this fantastic buttermilk coating, they’ll cook up nice and crisp. While you’ve got the buttermilk out, go ahead and make some yummy garlic ranch dip, too.

I love this recipe. I first spotted it in Rachael Ray’s fantabulous magazine back in early Autumn this year. Love that chick!

Though I tweaked it just a teeny tiny bit to suit my liking, I’ve made the dish a few times and I am quite pleased with the great big CRUNCH that comes with each bite.

To get that great crunch, you’ll need some flour, buttermilk, egg and panko breadcrumbs along with a few seasonings. Simply coat the onion rings with the flour. Then, dip them in the buttermilk and coat with the panko.

Bake them in a 475-degree F. oven for about 20 minutes and they’re ready to eat. No flipping required!

You can just eat them as is but who doesn’t love a good dip for their onion rings? If you’re a ranch fan, this garlicy version of mine goes great with those crunchy onion treats.

It’s a buttermilk base and just four more ingredients make it a shake-in-a-jar dressing or dip. Add little mayo, some minced garlic, parsley and a touch of salt and that’ll do it.

This is one of those condiments that I am thrilled to have replaced the store-bought kind with. It’s SO much better when it’s fresher.

A nice crispy, crunchy (less fatty because it isn’t fried) snack is perfect for me and my crew. Perhaps you’ll give this one a try and love it, too!

Make it a great weekend and as always, keep it delicious!

Till next time ~ much love, Connie
