CRISPY PANKO-TOPPED BAKED ONIONS

July 8, 2013

I love a good onion ring! Crunchy with a hint of sweet. This recipe could even manage to get rid of the onion ring’s only fatal flaws. First, that thing where you take a bite and then the entire onion slips out leaving only a hollow ring of breading. And second, that they’re quite unhealthy. (Or is that one of it’s strengths?) Both problems fixed. Panko, butter, and sweet, sweet onions. Less bread but still delicious and many ways you could use them. Are you enticed?

    Oh. My. Goodness.
    I made these yesterday and they were so good! I’m going to make them again this weekend. Thanks! I enjoy reading your blog and I also enjoy your book list. I think you had Hole in your Holiness on your list which we read as a women’s group at church too. I did enjoy it. Take care and keep it up!

    Oh wow!!!!!! I can’t wait to try these! Due to the drought we’ve been getting more onions in our CSA boxes. Will try on Saturday with a tomato pie!

    • Yum! Glad I could be of a little help. Hope they don’t disappoint!

      love,
