Crispy oven baked onion rings. They are easy and the perfect appetizer for a football party.
I love making not so healthy foods just a bit healthier. These baked onion rings are just that. The only issue is that I could have eaten the whole batch.
Now I wouldn’t say that they taste just like a deep fried onion ring, they are pretty darn close to the real thing. They seriously taste so good! I dipped our onion rings in bbq sauce, but ketchup, a spicy mayo, ranch, the possibilities for dips are endless.
