Recipe: Side dish that satisfies

I love onion rings. I really really love onion rings. The calories of the oil and the carbs in the breading make it impossible to include them in a balanced meal, unless...

You will need a sweet onion (Walla Walla or Vidalia) to make this dish, otherwise it may be a little TOO onion'y.

1 onion (9-10 ounces) peeled and sliced thick
Spray Pam
Costco Sea Salt
Heinz Low Sugar Ketchup

Peel the onion and weigh (this will give you your accurate calories and carb count). Now I like mine sliced thick, which means they take longer to cook.

Heat up a fry pan on medium and spray very lightly with Pam. Lay the onions in the pan and sprinkle with sea salt (I use very little, just enough to bring out the sweetness of the onions). Now go away.

It will take about 5 min per side to grill them. You will see them start to turn translucent. Once they are light brown and translucent, turn and cook for about 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Eat with the low sugar ketchup. You will never miss the breading.
