Ingredients:
Canola oil spray
4 cups baked potato chips
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 large Vidalia onions, peeled
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet lightly with cooking
spray and set aside. Place the potato chips in a food processor and
process into fine crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl,
stir in the cayenne, and set aside. In another bowl, combine the
buttermilk, 2 Tbs. of the flour, the salt, and pepper and set aside.
Slice the onions into 1/2 -inch-thick rounds and separate into rings,
keeping only the large, whole rings (reserve the rest of the onion for
other uses). You should have 12 rings.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add
the onions and shake to coat. One at a time, dip the onion rings into
the buttermilk mixture, then dip into the potato chip crumbs, coating
each ring evenly, and place on the baking sheet. Coat the surface of the
rings lightly with canola oil spray and bake until the coating is
crisp, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and serve immediately.
