Crispy Oven Baked Onion Rings!

                                                                         

Onion Rings, oh how I love them! But, they are not the healthiest of choices are they? These are guilt free & not hard to make! No frying oil, not dripping with grease just a pleasing CRUNCH & lots of Sweet Onion flavor!

1 Very Large Sweet Onion, ( I used Vidalia & he was about the size of a softball). Use 2 if you can't get one as large as I did!

4 Eggs Beaten

1 Cup Milk added to the egg & beaten again, just use a fork no mixer needed!

In a large Gallon size Zip Bag or a deep bowl add the following:

1 & 1/2 Cups Plain Bread Crumbs

1 & 1/2 Cups Instant Potato Flakes

2 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon White Pepper

3 Dashes or so of Red Pepper

1 Teaspoon Sugar

2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley

Close bag & shake well to mix everything evenly.

Now slice the onion into nice fat rings. I sliced off both ends & then divided it with 5 cuts & got about 1/3 to 1/2 inch sized rings. Deep each ring individually into the egg mixture coat well & then into the crumb mixture, back into the egg batter & then one last time into the crumbs. Lay on a parchment covered baking sheet or use non-stick foil. Continue until all the rings are coated. Make sure they do not tough on your baking sheet. I needed 2 sheets for just 1 onion! Now bake in a preheated 375 Degree oven for 25 minutes or until nicely brown! Eat piping hot with or without your choice of dipping sauce! I got about 20 large rings from my one BIG FAT ONION!
