Crispy Baked Onion Rings

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + soaking Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
These crispy, lightly browned rings are a healthy alternative to the deep-fried version. Thyme and paprika enhance the flavor of the tender onions. —Della Stamp, Long Beach, California

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet onions
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  • 1. Cut onions into 1/2-in. slices; separate into rings and place in a bowl. Cover with ice water; soak for 30 minutes. Drain.
  • 2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, thyme, salt, paprika and pepper. Dip a third of the onions into the egg white and then add rings, a few at a time, to crumb mixture; turn to coat. Place rings on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • 3. Repeat with remaining onions and crumb mixture. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
