Going around onion, cut 20- 30 slits, starting your cut in the center of the onion.
Don’t cut all the way through, your slits should resemble petals from a flower.
Set aside.
Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder,paprika, and set aside.
Mix together egg whites in a medium bowl and dip onion in to coat.
On a small plate, coat onion dipped in egg white with bread crumb mixture.
Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Place on a cookie sheet coated lightly with cooking spray and bake 40-50 minutes until onion is tender.
While onion is cooking, prepare spicy dipping sauce.
Place cottage cheese, mayonaise,horse radish, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Dip onion petals into sauce and enjoy!
