Low-Fat Oven Baked Onion Rings

OMG...you all must try these delicious oven baked onion rings as soon as possible. I have really been trying to do some different side dishes in our house and this is one of the new recipes. I absolutely love onion rings, but they can be so unhealthy and very high in calories. I wanted to enjoy them without all the guilt from eating fried foods. These come out perfectly crispy and so delicious. Even my husband, who isn't a fan of onion rings, ate a ton of them and said I should make them again soon. We served these onion rings with grilled grassfed beef burgers.
