Ww-Friendly Onion Rings image

This recipe serves 1 and is only 2 WW points! I can't wait to try this. I got this off the Hungry Girl website, which is awesome and I'm so glad I found it.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large onion
1/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute, original**
1/2 cup crushed Fiber One cereal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut edges off onion, and remove outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2 inch wide slices, and separate into rings. Next, fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with Egg Beaters.
  • Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour crumbs onto a small dish.
  • One by one, coat each ring in egg and then crumbs (give each ring a shake after the egg bath). Place on an oven-safe baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through.
  • **Although you'll only actually use a quarter cup, it may be easier to dunk the rings if you dole out a bit more Egg Beaters while preparing.

Old Fashioned Onion Rings image

This is an actual recipe from a former employee of a popular drive-in restaurant. Crispy coated onion rings like the pro's make!

Provided by JeanieMomof3

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 18m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
  • Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer to get perfectly thin onion rings.
  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the breading adhere to the onions and give them a crispy coating.
  • Use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and crushed pork rinds to create a crispy, flavorful breading.
  • Season the breadcrumb mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to add flavor.
  • Coat the onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture twice for a thicker, more flavorful coating.
  • Bake the onion rings in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.
