Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white flour, garlic, sea salt, pepper, and cayenne.
• Add onions and stir well or use clean hands to coat.
• Pour buttermilk (soy milk) over onions and toss again to coat well.
• Place breadcrumbs in a separate large bowl. Add olive oil and mix well using clean fingers. Add onions. Toss well, again, coating every onion.
• Coat a large cookie sheet with olive oil. Transfer onions to prepared cookie sheet (I usually use 2). Bake onions for half an hour, or until golden brown and crispy.
• While onions are baking, steam green beans until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. If necessary, drain green beans and return to pan.
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Pour mushroom soup into the steamed green beans. Add half the onion rings. Place in an olive-oil sprayed casserole dish. Top with remaining onion rings.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
