Ingredients

Scale

1 medium sweet onion, peeled

For the breading:

1 slice whole grain bread, toasted & ground into crumbs (about 1/2 cup crumbs)
1/3 cup rice crispies or other rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Red Robin seasoning (recipe here)

For coating:

A bit of white whole wheat flour
A bit of lowfat milk

For dipping: Avocado Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing (recipe here)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice the onion into thick slices, then separate the slices into rings. Prepare the dipping sauce.
Prepare the breading by whirling together all the breading ingredients in a handi chopper or food processor. Put the breading in a bowl.
Now prepare a second bowl with milk and a third bowl with flour. Set the bowls side by side: flour, then milk, then breading, then the baking sheet. Dip each ring first in flour, coating it completely, then carefully transfer to the milk and coat it in milk, then set it carefully in the breading and use your fingers to cover it in breading. Gently lift the ring from the breading, trying not to knock too much of the little crumbs off the ring and set it on the baking sheet.
Repeat for the rest of the rings, giving each ring a little space around it, then spritz the top of the rings with olive oil or canola oil cooking spray and set the baking sheet in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes or until the rings are golden brown and nicely crunchy.
