Here is something I have never liked before, onion rings. Only about a year ago did I try the fried version. The outside was greasy and crunchy, but the onion itself was limp and slimy. Was not my favorite. Since then, I have grown to love onions and use them in as many recipes as I can. They don't really have a nutritional value, but are there mostly for the taste. So this quick and easy snack was more for my adventurous side. Even though I didn't like the fried onion rings, doesn't mean I wouldn't like the baked version. I was right. The bread crumbs give a fantastic crunch, and the onion is still crispy in the middle. If you are looking for a fast, healthy snack, try this! These would also be a great hit at the super bowl, or just a gathering that requires fantastic finger foods.
The bread crumbs can really be seasoned to your taste. For mine, I added a little bit of red pepper flakes of course! My choice for dipping sauce was BBQ sauce mixed with hot sauce, something odd I like to do. We all have those little weird things right? :)
