Lord of the Onion Rings

Prep: 20 minutes ~ Cooking: 25 minutes

1 large onion
1/2 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal
1/4 tsp. garlic powder, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
[HG FYI: You’ll only need about 1/4 cup, but using 1/2 cup
makes it soooo much easier.]
Optional dip: Vivi’s Original Sauce Classic Carnival Mustard

Preheat oven to 375°.
Slice the ends off the onion and remove its outer layer.
Cut onion into half-inch-wide slices and separate into rings. Set aside.
Using a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency.
Season crumbs with the spices and transfer to a plate or bowl. Set aside.
Pour egg substitute into a small bowl. Prepare a baking sheet (or two) with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Using tongs or a fork, dip the onion rings into the egg substitute, shaking each one lightly to remove the excess.
Coat each ring with the seasoned crumbs. Evenly place rings on the baking sheet(s).
Bake until each ring is crispy outside and soft inside, about 20-25 minutes, carefully flipping rings midway through.
Serve with mustard, if desired. Enjoy!
