My husband says these onion rings are the best he's ever eaten. The cornmeal and pecans give them a special crunch.

These were a little tedious in preparation, but they were really good, and so low in calories.

These onion rings are amazing. My husband and sons went nuts over them. I did not use the buttermilk sub. milk instead and fried them in olive oil! This is a keeper!
