Ingredients:





     2 lg Red onions; about. 1 1/2 lbs


   1/2 c  Bread crumbs; or Panko


     1 ts Garlic powder


   1/2 ts Paprika


     2 lg Egg whites






 Preheat the oven to 375* F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil


 spray.


 


 Peel the skin from the onions and trim the bottoms so that the onions sit


 flat. Starting at the center of the top of each onion and working around


 it, cut 20 to 30 slits, cutting only three-quarters into the onion for a


 "flower" effect. Transfer to the baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the


 bread crumbs, garlic powder and paprika. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk


 the egg whites lightly with a fork. Pour the whites over the onion to cover


 thoroughly and then sprinkle evenly with the seasoned crumbs. Spray lightly


 with olive oil spray and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the onions are


 lightly browned. Serve Immediately. >From: irene@1starnet.com
