These super-crispy, baked onion rings are a dead ringer (pun intended) for the deep-fried variety. A touch of cayenne adds nice heat.

Ingredients

3 spray(s) cooking spray

1 cup(s) cornflake crumbs

1 large egg white(s)

1/3 cup(s) low-fat milk

1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour

3/4 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 large uncooked onion(s), yellow, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, separated into rings

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Spread cornflake crumbs on a large plate. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together egg white, milk, flour, onion powder, salt and cayenne pepper until blended.
In batches, dip onion rings in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and then dredge in cornflake crumbs, turning to coat both sides; place in a single layer on prepared pan.
Coat onion rings with cooking spray and bake, turning once, until onion rings are golden brown, about 12 minutes; sprinkle with additional salt and pepper before serving, if desired. Yields about 8 onion rings per serving.

Notes

If you don't have a baking pan large enough to hold the onion rings in a single layer, simply use 2 pans and switch their positions in the oven after you turn the onions rings.

Loved this! Easy and really made me feel like I was treating myself. TIP: cornflakes stuck together and were hard to coat after a few rings and had to make another batch for dipping.

totally great way to make onion rings! Very tasty and even crispy, which isn't easy to do in the oven. My husband even likes them. I used low fat buttermilk in the batter which I think made them even better and also added some garlic powder to up the flavor. This is going to be a recipe I make over and over!

Easy to make, however they burn easy so keep a close eye on them! I added a little more salt as I thought they needed them but they were really good otherwise! :)
