From the "Kids' Corner" - Oven-Fried Onion Rings

Become a dinner-time hero! Serve these low-fat crispy rings.

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices and separated into rings
2 slightly beaten egg whites

Lightly coat a very large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small bowl stir together bread crumbs, melted butter and salt. Spread about one-fourth of the crumb mixture on a sheet of waxed paper. Using a fork, dip the onion rings in the egg whites, then in the bread crumb mixture. Replace waxed paper and add more of the crumb mixture as needed. Arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a 450 degree F. oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until the onions are tender and the coating is crisp and golden.

Serves 6.
