Low Fat Onion Rings

It's no secret that my favorite website for recipes is Ginas Skinny Recipes. Her recipes are easy, yummy, and include Weight Watchers point values.  This past weekend I tried her Low Fat Onion Rings. My oh my! They were so good...I didn't even miss the Sonic onion rings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. My husband hates onions which means there's more for me!

Tip - The first time I made these I let the sliced onions soak for about 2 hours. The second time I made them I only let them soak for about 10 minutes. Do not skimp on your soak time! The first batch was much better than the second batch due to the soaking time. Allow yourself enough time to let them soak for at least 1 hour.
