<br><br>HG's Crispy-licious Faux-Fried Frenzy
<br><br>	
<br><br>Stacked & Flavor-Packed  
<br><br> There's no excuse for super-greasy deep-fried foods when you've got a box 
<br><br>of Fiber One and a blender handy. Thanks to HG subscriber Linda for 
<br><br>inspiring us with her easy onion-string idea -- you rock, L!
<br><br>
<br><br>Ingredients:
<br><br>1 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
<br><br>1/2 tsp. seasoned salt (like the kind by Lawry's)
<br><br>1/4 tsp. garlic powder
<br><br>1/8 tsp. black pepper
<br><br>1 jumbo sweet onion 
<br><br>5 fresh jalapeno peppers 
<br><br>1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
<br><br>3 tbsp. fat-free ranch dressing
<br><br>3 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
<br><br>1 1/2 tsp. green pepper sauce (like the kind by Tabasco)
<br><br>
<br><br>Directions: 
<br><br>Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
<br><br>
<br><br>In a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like 
<br><br>consistency. Pour crumbs into a plastic container with an airtight lid or a 
<br><br>large sealable plastic bag. Add seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black 
<br><br>pepper. Cover container/seal bag and shake to mix thoroughly. Set aside. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Slice the ends off the onion and remove the outer layer. Cut onion in half, 
<br><br>and slice into very thin strips. Separate individual pieces and place in a large 
<br><br>bowl. Set aside. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Handling the jalapenos carefully (wash your hands often -- or wear gloves -- 
<br><br>and don't touch your eyes), slice off the tops. Cut jalapenos into rings, and 
<br><br>then remove the seeds (or don't, if you like things really spicy). 
<br><br>
<br><br>Add jalapenos to the bowl with the onion, and cover the veggies with egg 
<br><br>substitute. Toss to coat, and then drain excess egg substitute.
<br><br>
<br><br>Transfer the eggy veggies to the container/bag with the cereal crumbs. 
<br><br>Cover/seal and shake until veggies are coated with the crumb mixture. 
<br><br>(They may not be perfectly coated -- this is OK.)
<br><br>
<br><br>Spray a large baking sheet (use two, if needed) with nonstick spray, and 
<br><br>spread out crumb-coated veggies on the sheet. Mist the veggies with 
<br><br>nonstick spray. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Bake in the oven until crispy, about 17 - 20 minutes, and then allow to cool 
<br><br>slightly. Meanwhile, combine ranch dressing, sour cream, and green pepper 
<br><br>sauce in a small bowl, and mix well. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Plate your crunchy goodies and dunk them into the creamy sauce. YUM!

<br><br>FIGHT IT!
<br><br>Chili's Onion String & Crispy Jalapeno Stack w/ Jalapeno Ranch  	
<br><br>	
<br><br>A Hot Mess!  
<br><br> Those people at Chili's are obsessed with deep-frying, a concept that seems 
<br><br>SO twenty years ago to us. (Come on!) And this INSANE pile of fried stuff fits 
<br><br>right in with the rest of the calorie-crazy apps that reside on the popular 
<br><br>restaurant chain's menu. The kooky stack packs in 1,030 calories and nearly 
<br><br>90 grams of fat! You'd have to eat more than two FULL BATCHES of our swap 
<br><br>to take in that many calories. And we do NOT recommend that. What we DO 
<br><br>recommend is slicing some onions nice 'n thin, cutting up a bunch of 
<br><br>jalapenos (without touching your eyes -- we learned that the hard way!), and 
<br><br>coating it all in a wonderful, super-seasoned, fiber-licious mix. Then faux-fry 
<br><br>it, baby! Between this recipe, our Quesadilla Blast Salad, and our Best of My 
<br><br>Lava Chocolate Cake, you may never eat at Chili's again! (Alright, maybe 
<br><br>you will. But if you do, you probably should order off the Guiltless Grill 
<br><br>menu.)
