Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 100g whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 50ml milk
- 50g breadcrumbs
Directions
-
Prep the Onion: Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices. You can ask your little one to help with this step - just make sure they don’t get too teary-eyed!
-
Prepare the Coating: In three separate shallow dishes, place the whole wheat flour in one, beat the egg with the milk in another, and pour the breadcrumbs into the third.
-
Coat the Onion: Dip each onion slice in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure to shake off any excess coating to prevent a mess in the kitchen (or on your little one’s clothes!).
-
Cook the Onion Strings: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little cooking spray. Place the coated onion slices in the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Transfer the crispy onion strings to a plate and let them cool slightly before serving. These make a tasty and healthy snack for your little one to enjoy!
