Oven-Fried Onion Rings

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)
• 0.5 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

Steps

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