Low-Fat Baked Onion Rings & Dipping Sauce

Who doesn't love onion rings? And that sauce they serve at restaurants is amazing! But after eating a bunch of them, onion rings can make you feel a little guilty about indulging. Not these! They're baked and low fat! Let me warn you that the onion rings have some prep time so you'll need to plan ahead. The sauce takes 2 minutes to whip up.

• 2 large onions
• 3/4 c flour
• 3 egg whites
• 3/4 c breadcrumbs
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning (I made my own with equal parts of basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme)
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1.5 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Slice the onions width wise and then break them apart into rings.

Pour the flour into a shallow bowl, the egg whites into a second, and the bread crumbs and spices into a third. (Pie pans work great for this.)

Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the egg whites, and then the bread crumbs.

Place finished onion rings on the baking sheet.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until crispy.
