Crispy Baked Onion Rings

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then lightly coat with vegetable cooking spray.

Slice the sweet onions into 1/4-inch rings and separate them gently into individual rings.

Combine the crushed corn flake cereal, seasoned salt, sugar, and paprika in a shallow dish, mixing thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.

Pour the egg substitute into another shallow dish and whisk until smooth.

Dip each onion ring first into the egg substitute, coating both sides completely, then dredge it in the corn flake mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.

Arrange the coated onion rings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, spacing them apart so they do not touch.

Lightly spray the tops of the onion rings with vegetable cooking spray to promote even browning and crispness.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy, checking at the 15-minute mark.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set and retain its crispness.
