Cottage Cheese Crispy Onion Rings
Cottage Cheese Crispy Onion Rings are a lighter, oven baked twist on classic onion rings, combining creamy cottage cheese with savory seasonings to create a golden, crunchy coating without deep frying.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 large white onions sliced into thick rings
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional paprika or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons onto the sheet, spreading into circles slightly larger than onion rings.
- Place onion rings on top, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and optional seasonings evenly over each ring.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes until golden and crisp, rotating tray if needed.
- Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving so they firm up.
