"Food is our common ground, a universal experience." James Beard

Ingredients you will need:

• 2 large onions
• 1 cup gluten free bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 eggs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Wash and clean the onions. Slice into rings. Remove any skin between the layers of onion.
3. Combine all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
4. Stir together your two eggs in a separate bowl.
5. Dip a single ring, first into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture.
6. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Turn onion rings at the halfway mark, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven when onion rings are browned to your liking.

The onion rings were delicious. The bread coating had a nice texture. The larger sliced onions still had a nice, crispy bite to them. Without being too crisp, as in biting in to a raw onion. 

It will be fun to change and add different spices to the bread crumb mixture. Such as thyme or even spice them up a bit with some paprika. The combinations are endless.
