These turned out amazing! I was skeptical when I found this recipe on Gina's Skinny Recipes since they are baked rather than fried, but we loved them! They took little to no effort and taste very similar to the Bloomin' Onion at Outback...just without all the grease! We paired these with our leftovers from the short ribs made last night and enjoyed BBQ sandwiches. The only change I would make would be to use a smaller onion because I found if it is too large the rings are harder to coat with bread crumbs. They still turned out fantastic though! At just 74 calories and 0.6 grams of fat for half a batch of onion rings, they really are too good to be true! Make them for your next party and they are sure to be a hit!

I tried these for Sunday night football and they were amazing!!
These sound absolutely fabulous! I just bought a whole sack of sweet onions that are calling me.
My Housemate LOVES Onion rings - we were terrible in our first year of uni stopping off at the takeaway and buying onion rings! Will definitely be trying these out for a healthier alternative! :-)

I found you from Pinterest and I LOVE your site!! I'm your newest follower. I can't wait to see some more of your recipes:)
I made these last night. I didn't soak the onion rings in the buttermilk. I also didn't use buttermilk (you can put a little lemon juice and baking sode in milk to get a similar effect). The result was great. My boyfriend said they tasted awesome. I over-salted them a little bit.
Hey, I love this recipe and really want to make it next week! However, I was wondering if its okay just to use the panko, cornflakes and some dried herbs (for flavor) as the coating. Are the italian wholewheat breadcrumbs necessary? Or do they just make it healthier ;)
These look so good! I love onion rings but hate how greasy I feel after eating them. Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try these!
Looking for low fat but delicious recipes came across your lovely blog and am so impressed . Will be trying the onion rings tonight!
Will it turn out/taste the same if I use a red onion? My other half prefers red onions over white. :)
