I love Onion Rings (I admit it!)  But most are super greasy, which is yucky and not so good on the waistline!  These are the best alternative!  They aren’t gluten free, but I’m working on a gluten-free version!

Healthy Onion Rings

Makes 4 servings

2 vidalia onions, or other sweet onion, sliced
8-10 Tbsp Italian breadcrumbs (make sure they are the Italian ones, not plain.  I used PC Italian Breadcrumbs found in Canada)
4-5 egg whites ( I used liquid egg whites from carton)
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray 1-2 cooking sheets with cooking spray.  Cut onion into 1/2 inch thick slices and separate into rings.

In 1 small bowl, place egg whites, in another bowl, place Italian bread crumbs.  Dip onion into egg white, then over to the breadcrumbs.  You may need even more breadcrumbs as when they start to get wet, they don’t stick too well.  Nutritionals are based on what actually made it onto the onion.

Place battered onion rings on cookie sheets.  Spray the top of them with cooking spray.  Place in the oven for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 10 minutes until golden & crispy!
