Onion rings are back on the menu. You didn't think it was possible, did you? We lightened up the ingredients by using egg whites, fat-free sour cream, and yes, instant oatmeal, instead of traditional additions like flour, milk or buttermilk, and cornstarch. We also found that baking them in the oven results in the flavor and texture of the golden, deep-fried original thanks to the crunchy oats.

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.

In a large shallow bowl or dish, whisk together egg whites and sour cream. Add onion rings and turn to coat. Transfer onion rings to a large bowl and set aside.
