These crispy, lightly browned rings from Della Stamp of Long Beach, California are a healthy alternative to the deep-fried version. Thyme and paprika enhance the flavor of the tender onions. Ingredients:
1 pound sweet onions |
3 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 another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, thyme, salt, paprika and pepper. Divide the crumb mixture among three large resealable plastic bags. Dip a third of the onions in the egg whites; add a few rings at a time to crumb mixture and shake to coat. Place 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. Yield: 4 servings.
