I am mainly just looking for a healthier way to cook onion rings. I can cook
them in the deep fryer and they turn out perfectly. I actually love cooking
onion rings in the deep fryer. I am just trying to be a little healthier in
how I cook certain foods. I have always used the deep fryer for onion rings,
french fries, chicken nuggets, etc. I now cook french fries and chicken
nuggets by putting them in the oven and they turn out perfectly. Onion rings
are the only thing that I cook in the oven that just dosen't taste the same.
I know eating less of all of these foods are probably best for a healthier
diet, but when I do eat them I just want it to be as healthy as possible.
Are there any ways to cook onion rings other than a deep fryer and still
have them nice and crispy?

Thank you to everyone have replied so far, your comments and suggestions
have been greatly appreciated.
