Apr 29 2022

These oven-fried onion rings are low in fat, crisp, and incredibly easy to make. The secret is the panko breadcrumbs which add a crunchy texture.

Ingredients

3
large egg whites
3
tbsp. milk
Pinch of cayenne
2
large onions (yellow, sliced , separated into 1/2-in thick rings)
½
cup flour (all-purpose, seasoned with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste)
3
to 4 cups panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
1
bottle vegetable oil spray

Step 1
Gather the ingredients. Pre heat oven to 450 F.
Step 2
Whisk the egg whites, milk, and cayenne together in a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Spread the breadcrumbs in a shallow baking dish.
Step 4
Add the onion rings to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with the flour, and toss to coat thoroughly.
Step 5
Working in batches, dip the floured onion rings first into the egg mixture, and then into the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Step 6
Transfer to baking sheets. Lightly coat the onion rings with cooking spray.
Step 7
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp around the edges. Garnish with additional flaky salt before serving.
