CRISPY BAKED ONION RINGS

"This recipe was in the October 1993 issue of Southern Living magazine. I cut the recipe in half and added some cayenne pepper when I made this. These taste like those sinful *deep-fried* rings you may remember, but with hardly any fat."

2 large sweet onions
1 (7 ounce) package corn flakes cereal, crushed
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 cup egg substitute (or 3 egg whites)
Vegetable cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut each onion into 4 thick slices; separate into rings, reserving small rings for other uses. Set aside.

Combine cereal, sugar, paprika and seasoned salt; divide in half, and set aside.

Beat egg substitute at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Dip half of onion rings in egg substitute; dredge in half of crumb mixture. Place in a single layer on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining onion rings and crumb mixture.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until crisp; serve warm.

Makes 4 servings
