Directions:

1. slice onion into 1/2 inch rings or petals of desired size.
2. mix rest of ingredients other then margarine.
3. dip onion bits, let excess drip off, and flash fry in margarine on med just until coating looks dry. work in batches. you can use less margarine if you're using a non-stick pan but it helps it cook up the sides a little.

5. bake at 375f for 25 min or until crispy, turn once if bottoms getting too brown.
