Instead of being battered and deep-fried, this onion is brushed with melted butter and mustard, sprinkled with bread crumbs and seasonings and baked. “It’s an impressive-looking appetizer, and the dip can be used for veggies and crackers, too,” says Kendra. —Kendra Doss, Kansas City, Missouri
Ingredients:
2 large sweet onions
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
sauce:
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
Directions:
1. With a sharp knife, slice 1/2 in. off the top of the onions; peel onions. Cut each into 16 wedges to within 1/2 in. of root end.
2. Place each onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Fold foil around onions and seal tightly. Place in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, combine butter and mustard. Open foil; fold foil around onions. Brush butter mixture over onions; sprinkle with bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
4. Bake 18-22 minutes longer or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with onions. Yield: 8 servings.
