As many of you know, you can purchase some great tasting sweet onions (yellow or red) at Magicland Farms.  Most of our family loves onions so we used quite a few of them in our recipes.  Rebekah found a recipe for Oven Fried Onion Rings on one of the blogs she visits and decided to give them a try. All agreed they were quite good, plus you don't have the mess of frying them in oil.  Here's the recipe:

Oven-Fried Onion Rings

2 medium onions cut into 1/2 - inch rings
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup  + 1 tbl. flour
1 1/2 cups crushed potato chips
3 tbl. canola oil (you could use vegetable oil as well)

Pre-heat your oven to 450*

Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to dip the onions into.
In another similar size bowl combine the buttermilk, egg and 1/4 cup + 1 tbl. flour. Whisk until a smooth batter is formed.

Dip an onion ring into the seasoned flour. This will help the batter to adhere which helps the chips to adhere.

After the seasoned flour, dip the onion into the buttermilk batter. Let the excess batter dribble off before you coat the wet ring with the crushed chips. You will need to use your hands a bit to make sure the chips adhere.

Repeat this process with all the onion rings.

Cover a baking sheet with a piece of non stick foil. Drizzle with 3 tbl. oil then pop it into the hot oven for 10 minutes.  Serve with your favorite dip or they're just as good plain.

Note: We used our yellow onions but the red ones would work just as well.
