Traditionally onion rings were coated in a heavy layer of breadcrumbs or batter, then deep fried, and while they certainly tasted good, they don't do the waistline any favours.
These wheat & gluten free oven baked onion rings have a lighter coating, and being baked reduces the calories from fat, making you feel good about eating them.
Onions have many health benefits as they contain phenolics and flavonoids that are believed to have antioxidant properties, as well as potential anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and cholesterol reducing properties. So getting a few more onions into our diet should be beneficial.
