Baked Onion Rings

We don't really do fried foods around here so I often try to find things I can bake and make just as good. So far it's worked pretty well for chicken strips/nuggets and french fries. The goal this time was onion rings. I'm actually surprised by how well they turned out and I'll definitely be making them again!


Baked Onion Rings

1 medium/large onion
1/3 cup flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare tray by lining with foil to assist with clean up and place metal cooling rack on tray to elevate onion rings.

2. Remove onion skin and cut into about 1-inch thick slices (thinner if you prefer thin onion rings) and separate. Soak sliced onions in cold water for about 5 minutes, drain water and pat dry or let sit in bowl for a few minutes so they can air dry a little.

3. Put flour into large bowl or bag. Add onions and shake until onions are coated with flour.

4. Beat egg with water in small bowl and put bread crumbs in another bowl. Dip floured onions into egg and then bread crumbs one-by-one. Place on cooling rack/tray.

5. Spray tops of onion rings with cooking spray to help them crisp and back at 450 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven, flip onion rings, spray with cooking spray again and bake another 8 minutes or so.
