I haven’t made onion rings in a long time, but they sounded good this week. So I pulled out my old recipe. It’s fairly simple and pretty good. I think I got the recipe from an IBS message board years ago. So it’s not a fattening version of onion rings. The next time I make onion rings I want to try another recipe and actually fry them. But this one works well. Even Rebecca ate some after some initial hesitation 🙂 I don’t have any actual amounts for the ingredients on my recipe. But I’ll try to come up with some approximations.
Onion Rings
1 large onion
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
Slice onion in 1/4″ – 1/2″ thick rings. Place flour in shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix cornmeal and bread crumbs in shallow bowl. Dip onions in flour, then egg (be sure it’s fully coated), then cornmeal (make more cornmeal mixture if it gets too clumpy or is running out). Place on cookie sheet. Spray/mist with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes. Serve plain or with ketchup.
I should make these for Kevin sometime. He loves onion rings. I might like them this way, too.
Love, love, love onion rings! I’m especially liking this healthier version.
