INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced into thick rings
  • 1 cup egg substitute
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 quart canola oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the onions, egg substitute, and flour into separate shallow bowls. In another shallow bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, cayenne, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Heat oil in a heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Dip rings of onion into flour, then into the egg substitute, and then into the bread crumb mixture, shaking off any excess after each dip. Carefully drop each onion ring into the hot oil, and fry for about 30 seconds on each side, or until golden. Remove from hot oil to paper towels to drain. Serve hot with lots of ketchup.

Editor's Note

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

I tried this because I had a craving for onion rings but didn't have any beer or soda water to make beer battered traditional style onion rings. Anyway, these are pretty good! Mind you I didn't follow this to a tee. I used cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs, and omitted the pepper flakes, oregano and basil. They turned out light and crispy, with a little zing from the cayenne. Thanks Luna.

These were awesome! My family likes spicy foods so these were a big hit, my big kids ate them as fast as I could fry them up.

We just did not care for the basil and oregano. I will try this again leaving those out and adding garlic powder. I always drain fried foods on a cookie cooling rack with a paper towel underneath so the food stays crisp on all sides.
