Oven-Fried Onion Rings

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup ( 35 grams ) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1 cup ( 250 ml ) plain yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup ( 70 grams ) plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 cups ( 200 grams ) finely crushed potato chips
• 2 larger onions
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• salt

Directions:

•  Preheat oven to  390 F.
• Combine 1/4 cup (35 grams) flour, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Minus the spoons.
• Mix the eggs, yogurt, 1/2 cup ( 70 grams ) plus 2 tbsp flour  in another medium bowl.
• Whisk until  smooth.
• Smash the chips finely and place them in a bowl too.
• Peel the onions and cut them into 1/2 inch (1 cm) rings.
•  Use a piece of parchment to cover a baking sheet.
• Drizzle with 3 tbsp vegetable oil.
• Pop it into the hot oven for 8 minutes – or until the oil just starts to smoke.
• Toss the onion rings in the flour mixture.
• Dip each ring into the batter.
• Let the excess batter dribble off a little.
• Coat the rings with the crushed potato chips.
• Place the rings on the hot baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, then flip each ring over before baking for another 8 minutes.
• Since you will probably have more rings than you can fit in one baking sheet you might need to work in batches.
• Sprinkle with salt while the rings are still hot.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
