Oven Baked Onion Rings
"When I get a craving for something, I just have to make it! And a craving for onion rings I had! I did not really choose an oven baked version just to be healthier (which by the way they are), but mostly because I hate deep frying. These oven baked onion rings are just as crispy on the outside, tender and sweet on the inside, you will barely notice that they are not deep fried. Although they are not hard to make, they require a bit of work. The best way I found to coat these onion rings one by one, without ending up with giant fingers made of egg and flour, is to use 2 bamboo skewers. It makes the manipulation so much easier and you keep your finger clean!"
