Yogurt Battered Onion Rings

Are you wanting onion rings, but there’s no milk in the frig? This recipe uses plain Greek yogurt instead of milk for the batter. Easy, light, slightly crunchy and baked in the oven these will be a family favorite.

Ingredients:

1 medium sweet onion (Vidalia or yellow) cut into rings and separated

1 single serve container of plain Greek yogurt

1 egg

1 cup Pioneer Biscuit mix,  seasoned to taste (salt, pepper, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning)

Vegetable spray

What to do;

Preheat oven to 375°.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a small bowl combine the yogurt and the egg, mixing well.

In another bowl season the biscuit mix.

Coated onion rings ready to bake

Next, coat the onion slices in the yogurt egg mixture. Shake off any excess and then gently toss in the seasoned biscuit mix. Place each battered onion ring on the parchment lined baking sheet; leave room between each one. Spritz each prepared onion ring with vegetable spray. Place in heated oven. Bake for ten minutes and then with a fork flip them and continue baking for another eight to ten minutes. A nice golden color is what you’re looking for. 

Baked (oven-fried) to a golden brown

Serve with your favorite sauce. Mine is hot honey mayo. This a great side for practically any entre`: chicken tenders, fried fish, etc.

A Time to Plant

It’s still a little early to put plants in the ground.  The seedlings bought yesterday need a few more weeks before going into raised beds. The sunny bench in the potting shed is now loaded with hope for a full potager garden.

Three kinds of mint, two kinds of peppers, Creole tomatoes and cilantro were potted up. I’ll add sweet basil and more chives to the collection.

And the faithful mayhaw is blooming, as are the Methley plums planted a year ago and the blueberries. (I’m hoping the rabbits will leave the berries alone this year…) Two more plum trees, one more blueberry bush, two new pears and a loquat will be added to the orchard. I’m excited!

It’s almost time for Ecclesiasties 3: 2; the part about planting.
