Easy Baked Onion Rings

Easy Baked Onion Rings are a quick and simple snack to make when the craving for something crisp, crunchy, and sweet takes over.  I like to eat them by themselves, but they’re also tasty as a side dish for soup or salad.  They go great with my Easy Low-CalorieTomato Soup. Since they’re baked instead of fried they’re healthier but still feel indulgent and satisfying. Best of all, they’re one of those dishes that I almost always have the ingredients for on hand in my kitchen!

Ingredients

• Nonstick Cooking Spray
• 1 C. Seasoned Bread Crumbs
• 4 Tbsp. Melted Margarine or Butter
• ¼ tsp. Salt
• 1/8 tsp. Pepper
• 2 Medium to Large Yellow Onions
• 2 Eggs

*Optional: If you like, serve with your favorite dipping sauce or try this Easy Onion Ring Dipping Sauce:

• ½ C. Mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp. Ketchup
• ½ Tbsp. Horseradish
• 1 tsp. Sriracha Sauce
• Salt and Pepper to taste

** I use yellow onions because while they are astringent, they are also sweet. When they’re cooked, yellow onions lose their astringency and become sweeter. Yummy!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with tin foil first if desired.
3. Combine bread crumbs, melted margarine, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and stir with a fork.
4. Slightly beat eggs in a separate mixing bowl.
5. Cut onions into ¼ inch slices and separate into rings.
6. Spread about ¼ C. of the breadcrumb mixture onto a dinner plate.
7. Using a fork, dip each onion ring into the egg mixture and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
8. Replenish breadcrumb mixture onto a plate as needed.
9. Arrange onion rings onto baking sheets in a single layer.
10. Bake each baking sheet 1 at a time for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
11. Remove from oven, cool to the desired temperature and enjoy!
