  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 30 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups cornflakes
    • 1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, quartered crosswise and broken into rings (discard small center rings)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cornflakes and breadcrumbs until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, flour, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Dip onion rings in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and dredge in cornflake mixture; place on a large plate. Pour oil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and heat 2 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and tilt to coat evenly with oil. Arrange onion rings on sheet. Bake, turning once, until onion rings are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Season with salt.
