"If you love onion rings but not the fat from deep-frying them, try baking them," suggests Marilyn Lee of Richmond, Missouri. The crisp rings round out lunch...or make a scrumptious snack

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet onions
• 2 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups crushed cornflakes
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Preparation

Step 1

Cut onions into 1/2-in. slices; separate into rings. In a shallow

rings into eggs, then coat with cornflake mixture.

Arrange rings in a single layer on greased baking sheets. Bake at
