Onion Rings are a classic side dish and I love making them.

Recently in my efforts to make things a little lighter, I have been searching for non-fried options. When I was making the asparagus a few weeks ago, it occurred to me that the three step dredge and bake would work for onion rings as well.

The trick is to season all the dredging steps. I like to really heat up the last step, but go with your family’s taste. Don’t forget the parchment paper. It makes clean up so much easier.

What vegetables do you fry that you would try baked?
