Alright - these are waaay too addictive!!! I LOVE onion rings but not the deep frying in oil and extra fat/calories part so I decided to give these a try and God are these good! The husband and I (both onion ring lovers) fight over who gets to eat how much of these when we make a batch. Funny thing is, we never reduce the serving to 2 instead of 4 as is and we still sometimes bicker about how the other ate more than their "half". LOL... I'll use 2 eggs instead of the egg sub if I don't have that around, use Old Bay seasoning in place of salt sometimes and I like to use panko like some other reviewers because I like the texture better that way. I have to bake mine for 30 minutes (turning halfway) instead of 15 because in my oven the onions are still way too crunchy/raw at 15 minutes so bake according to your oven since it can vary.

I and my non-WW hubby really enjoyed these. They were easy to put together and we enjoyed that the onion taste was not overtaken by a heavy batter. I followed the directions as stated but used seasoned bread crumbs instead of plain, and that worked out well. Also used a mix of red and yellow onions, as that was what I had on hand and both did fine. I will definitely be making this easy side dish again. Thanks for sharing it!

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy!
My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai.
Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes.
