Ingredients
- 2 pieces large onions
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0 olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate each ring and set aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, whole wheat flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 5
Dip each onion ring into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat completely with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the onions.
Step 6
Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd the rings.
Step 7
Lightly spray the onion rings with olive oil cooking spray. This helps to achieve a crispy texture without adding much fat.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the onion chips are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the baking time.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat crispy onion chips as a tasty snack or side!
