BAKED ONION RINGS

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, line a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick foil.
2. Place eggs in a pie plate and beat lightly; set aside.
3. Combine bread crumbs, paprika, salt and pepper in a separate pie plate; set aside.
4. Place flour in a plastic bag.
5. Separate onion slices into rings. Add onion rings to flour and toss to coat. Working with one piece at a time, dip onion rings into beaten eggs, turning to coat both sides. Place onion rings in bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly so that crumbs adhere; turn to coat both sides. Place onion rings in a single layer in prepared pan.
6. Bake, uncovered, at 425°F until onion rings are tender and light golden, about 15 - 18 minutes.
