Healthy Chex Onion Rings!

What’s the best thing you could ask for when you’re having a rough day in the cold of winter? Comfort food.  And what’s one of the most comforting foods you’ll ever have?  Onion rings!  Instead of sucking down those fat filled, deep fried, artery clogging fast food onion rings which drip grease through the bag, try this mouth-watering healthy version.  You won’t have to feel one bit guilty about these!  There are no bad ingredients and are baked instead of fried.  Here’s the recipe:

1 large onion                                        

¼ cup egg beaters (or regular eggs if the egg beaters aren’t available)

¼ cup crushed Chex-Mix (either brown and white chex, or both!)

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2.) Peel onion and cut it into ½ inch slices

3.) Fill a small bowl with the egg beaters or eggs

4.) Put Chex-Mix into bag and crush it

5.) One at a time, dip a ring into the egg mix then toss it in the Chex-Mix bag

6.) Cook for 20-25 minutes on a non-stick cookie sheet flipping at the half way point

7.) Take out of oven, dip in ketchup and indulge in this healthy deliciousness!
