Are baked onion rings bad for you?

healthier than fried onions so it's a great substitute. would make a great snack.

Not as bad as 'fried' ones.

Not as bad as deep-frying them, but not as tasty either.

Depends on what they are made with.  If they are made using whole grains, real eggs and spices in the batter, probably not.  But that is likely NOT the onion rings you are baking.

For me, the appeal of onion rings is exactly that they are crunchy, salty, a bit greasy and very highly flavored.  I'll splurge and have "real" ones, but only at my favorite local burger place that uses grassfed beef and have good quality ingredients.  I think I've had onion rings there maybe three times in 10 years.  And I always get my burger lettuce wrapped rather than in a bun.
