.
1 medium size (sweet) onion*
1 1/2 cups corn flakes
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs (I used Panko)
1 large egg
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
1/4 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
pepper to taste
.
Cut both ends off of an onion and then cut the onion into four thick slices. Separate the rings.
Put the corn flakes and bread crumbs in the food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs, then put them in a bowl and set aside.
.
In a separate bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, flour, cayenne and black pepper.
.
Dip the raw onion rings into the batter and then set them on a baking rack so the excess batter drips off.
.
Put 2 tablespoons canola oil on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in a 450 degree oven for 2 minutes to preheat.

Put 2 tablespoons canola oil on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in a 450 degree oven for 2 minutes to preheat.
After 2 minutes, remove the pan and tilt it around to redistribute the oil. Quickly coat the battered rings into the dry bread crumb mixture and place on the hot baking sheet.
Bake for 16 minutes at 450 (turn them over half way through). Remove from oven and sprinkle with kosher salt.
*NOTE: I don't know if these would be as good with a plain yellow onion. We like sweet onions.
