 Categories: Appetizers, Snacks, Vegetables, Vegetarian
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      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
