Oven "Fried" Onion Rings, because you should.

I really enjoy onion rings, but I really don't like how unhealthy they are. So I scoured the internet to find a good recipe for a baked onion ring. I found a few, but none were really that great.  So, I decided to combine the best parts of each recipe and give it a whirl. It turned out pretty good! Try it and let me know what you think!

What ya need:

• 2 medium sweet vidalia onions, cut into 1/2 inch slices and separated into rings
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of fine red chili powder (cayenne will suffice)
• 1/2 cup of non-fat plain yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup  of all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups of crushed kettle-cooked potato chips
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Ok, so:
Preheat your oven to 450ºF.  Now, take two medium to large bowls and, in the first one, combine 1/4 cup of flour, salt, pepper and red chili powder. In the second, combine the yogurt, egg and 1/4 cup of flour and whisk until a smooth batter is formed. This batter should be about the consistency of a loose pancake batter. If it’s too watery/loose add 1 tablespoon of additional flour. Grab a third bowl and put your crushed chips in it. Be sure that the chips are fairly finely crushed. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and drizzle it with the oil. Throw the baking sheet in the hot oven for 2-4 minutes. While the baking sheet is heating, begin the ring-assembly process.

One-by-one, dredge the onion in the dry flour mixture, then the batter, then the chips, making sure to get an even coat with each dip. Arrange them on the hot baking sheet evenly and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the baking sheet form the oven and flip the rings. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 8 minutes. Now sprinkle the salt on top and serve hot!
