  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 cup panko
  • ¼ tsp cayenne {or paprika for less heat}
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large onion, cut into ½" thick slices
  • cooking spray

  2. Place the flour in a shallow dish.

  4. In a food processor, grind the panko, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper and ¼ tsp salt together until fine. Place in a shallow dish.
