Onion Rings


80g sliced onion rings
1 grissini
1 T
skim milk (as allowed daily)
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1/4
t salt
1/4 t pepper

Preheat oven to 450.In a small bowl, add milk, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper. Mix to make a batter.Grind grissini in food processor until it is a
powder. (I use my coffee grinder.)Put grissini in a separate small bowl.Place rings in batter bowl and toss to coat fully. (It's best to use your hands here to ensure you coat each ring.)Let sit in batter 2-3 mins then toss again.Dip each ring into the grissini powder by hand. I find it works best to do these one at a time, rolling the ring in the grissini coating instead of tossing or shaking it on.Place on cookie sheet lined with non-stick aluminum foil.
Cook 6-7 mins. Then flip, cooking an additional 6-7 mins. Serve immediately.

NOTE: Don't expect these to look like a diner's fried onion rings when you pull them out of the oven. I have to admit I was disappointed the first time when I saw them come out thinking I failed somewhere along the line. But then I tasted them. YUM! To me, they tasted like good ol' onion rings but without all the grease

  1. I love the idea of it without all the grease! Thanks for sharing this recipe. This will be good for an HCG diet protocol or any type of diet, I suppose. =)
