SIMPLY THE BEST BAKED ONION RINGS!
These baked onion rings are incredible! There is no way that you feel like you are eating healthy and low fat when you eat these. This is a slight adaptation of a Yahoo Health recipe. I dip mine in ketchup but my husband is a purist who prefers his plain. And while the prep time can be a little long, make it a social time. I talk to everyone in the house while I make these, and then sit back and enjoy how great they smell as they cook!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Place the onion rings into the flour mixture, and thoroughly coat the rings; remove and set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the remaining flour mixture until smooth; dip the floured onion rings into the batter, and lay the rings on wire racks to drip, so that excess batter will drip off the rings. Place aluminum foil or baking pans under racks for easier clean-up.
- Stir the panko bread crumbs and Italian seasoning together in a shallow bowl. Gently lay the battered onion rings into the panko crumbs, and press to coat the rings with crumbs on all sides. Lay the coated onion rings on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle additional olive oil on rings, or spray the coated rings lightly using an oil mister.
- Bake the onion rings in the preheated oven until the coating is brown and crunchy and the onion is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

CRISPY OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS
I am trying to stay healthy, but sometimes you like a burger and some onion rings, right?!?! Well, here's what I came up with for the onion rings. I have used all panko bread crumbs when I didn't have any baked potato chips, and all baked potato chips when I felt naughty, and they are all good. I usually just make this recipe for the 2 of us, and we don't have many leftover if any.....and my husband doesn't normally order rings when we are out! Let me know which way you like best :)

BAKED ONION RINGS
I love onion rings, but I hate deep frying anything. These don't taste the same as the deep fried variety, but they are crispy & flavorful and a nice alternative. Adapted from Taste of Home. Servings will vary greatly depending upon your onions - approx 4 rings per serving. Please use very large onions and they should be sweet onions (such as Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla). Regular onions just won't taste the same.
