These light crispy onion rings are sliced thin and spiced just right with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder and cumin. My family likes them alongside grilled burgers. They're even good as leftovers. -Tamra Kriedeman, Enderlin, North Dakota

2 large sweet onions
2-1/2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
