Oven Baked Onion Rings
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion sliced into 1/4-inch think rings
- 2 large egg whites beaten
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Separate onion rings, place half on microwave-safe plate and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. water. Cover with wax paper and microwave on HIGH 1 minute. Repeat with remaining onions, pat dry and cool.
- Combine onion rings and egg whites in large bowl. In sealable plastic bag, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and chili powder. A few at a time, place onion rings inside bag and shake well. Shake off excess flour and place each ring single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet.
