OK So here's another yummy recipe that is pretty healthy. Who doesn't like onion rings? But all the fat that comes with deep frying them, UGH!! So I found this yummy recipe that is actually pretty easy and quick. We had these with hamburgers last night and surprisingly enough ALL of my kids LOVED them. I hope you like them too. By the way how is everyone doing with their goals? I'll be honest, I haven't done the greatest up until now. I'm trying to deal with the issues as to why I eat so much and am so unmotivated but I'm getting back on track now and I hope that you're all doing well too. If you all feel comfortable lets have everyone post how they're doing on the first of May. I love you all!! Thanks for being so wonderful!!


BAKED ONION RINGS
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, quartered crosswise and broken into rings (discard small center rings)(I used a normal yellow onion and it still turned out great.
2 tablespoons olive oil


Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cornflakes and breadcrumbs until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, flour, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper.

2.
Dip onion rings in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and dredge in cornflake mixture; place on a large plate. Pour oil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and heat 2 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and tilt to coat evenly with oil. Arrange onion rings on sheet. Bake, turning once, until onion rings are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Season with salt.
