Ingredients
-
1 to 2 large onions (about 1 pound)
1 Tbsp cornmeal
2 Tbsp coarse/stone-ground cornmeal
3 Tbsp egg substitute
1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
Notes:
A) The larger the onion the better. We often use just a single one pound onion.
B) Coarse ground cornmeal is vital to the "crunch" of this recipe and the nutty flavor is great. Try using a fifty-fifty mixture of coarse-fine cornmeal in all of your recipes calling for cornmeal.
C) Instead of balsamic vinegar you can try any other form of flavoring: rice-wine vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 490 degrees F.
2) Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray and set aside
3) In a small bowl combine egg, cornmeal, and balsamic vinegar; stir well
3) Cut onions into 1/2-inch slices; separate into rings
4) Place onion rings into a gallon sized sealable plastic bag and pour the egg mixture over them
5) Seal the bag and firmly shake/bang the bag until the mixture coats the rings. Don't worry if some of the mixture sticks to the bag. Because the batter/mixture is so thick I often whack the bag on the counter.
6) Place coated onion rings on baking sheet (single layer is nice, but not required)
7) Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes or until the coating is crisp
.
>>>To make the onion rings really juicy don't separate every ring. Instead, leave two rings together to make one thicker ring.
.
Serving size is about 1 cup.

These were really hard to make, a lot of onion and not much batter. My biggest problem was all the cornmeal mix stuck to the bag instead of the onion! - 6/19/08

Yes you really have to like the onion part of the onion rings instead of the batter to enjoy this recipe. Unfortunately, I don't know of a recipe that can give you lots of batter and still stay very low calorie.
