Low fat Blooming onion.......so good and so easy

[pumba]

Recipe: 1 (1 lb.) Spanish or Vidalia onion or any super-sweet onion
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/4 oz. corn flake crumbs
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp. seasoned salt
1 egg white
Horseradish Dip (recipe follows)
Preheat oven to 350º.
Trim the root end of the onion so it will stand upright. Slice 1/2
inch from the top of the
onion; discard the papery skin. Cut triangular slices to the center
of the onion, slicing from
the top to within 1/2 inch of the bottom and working your way around

the onion to make
several petals.
Place the onion in a microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with the oil.
Microwave, covered, on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the
onion is slightly tender and
the petals begin to separate.

Combine the corn flake crumbs, red pepper and seasoned salt in a
bowl and mix well.
Beat the egg white in a bowl until foamy.
Dip the onion into the egg white, coating the petals completely.
Place in a 2-cup round
baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with the
corn flake mixture.
Bake at 350º for 10 to 12 minutes or until brown and crisp. Serve
immediately with the Horseradish Dip.
HORSERADISH DIP
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
2 tsp. reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tsp. prepared horseradish
1/2 small garlic clove, finely minced
Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish and garlic in a bowl

and mix well. May
be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored, covered, in the
refrigerator.

A low fat blooming onion? That sounds like an oxymoron to me. LOL

The recipe looks good. I'm going to have to try it.
