Onion Rings

Swap out your French fries for one thing more healthy and simply as tasty. These onion rings are baked as an alternative of fried, in order that they’re low-fat and low-calorie. A little bit of cooking spray added simply earlier than baking makes them so crispy you’ll by no means miss the deep fryer.

In a shallow bowl, beat egg whites till foamy. In one other shallow bowl, mix cornmeal, panko bread crumbs, salt, thyme, paprika, black pepper and cayenne (if utilizing).
