As much as I love Clean Eating and feeling the extra weight slip off like cast-away shirts, there are those days when I want to sit down and enjoy a plate of onion rings. But all the work I've done would be ruined if I cave in now to the pressures of cravings, so I devised my own recipe that offers all the crunch and sweetness of sports bar-worthy onion rings, at a sliver of the grease and calories.
Turn on broiler to high.
Slice a sweet or vidalia onion into rings.
Pop all the rings apart and place them in a large bowl.
Pour 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil over rings and toss.
Sprinkle a salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup whole wheat flour over the rings and, yes, toss again.
Lay out on a cookie sheet and broil until nicely browned. (In my oven, I turn the onions every 4 minutes for a total of 16 minutes.)
I've served these rings on hamburgers or just as a side-dish. My kids go for the ultra-crunchy burnt rings - that is if I don't eat them first!
