Oven Baked Onion Rings

Ingredients

(Yields 3 servings of about 6 onion rings each!)

1 large yellow onion

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 c italian bread crumbs

1 egg

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or to taste depending on spice preference!)

Recipe

1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Coat baking sheets or pans with olive oil cooking spray.

2.  Cut off ends of onion and peel.  Then cut in 1/4-1/2 inch slices and separate into rings (thinner rings get crispier).

3.  Place the rings in a bowl of cold water and let sit for about 10 minutes.  

4.  While onions are in water, combine flour and baking powder in one shallow bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs, salt, and Old Bay seasoning (or seasoning of your choice).  

5.  One by one, dip each onion rings in flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture and place on baking sheets.

6.  Bake for 10 minutes on one side.  Then flip each individual ring and put back in the oven for another 8-10 minutes or when completely browned.  Take out and enjoy! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
