Servings

6

Ingredients

• 4 cup ritz crackers
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large vidalia onions, peeled

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet slightly with oil and set aside.
2. Place Ritz crackers into a food processor and process into crumbs, or place in a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside. Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings.
3. Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat. Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then into cracker crumbs and place on baking sheet.
4. Spray cooking spray evenly over rings and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt and serve with spicy ketchup or BBQ sauce.
