Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut edges off onion, and remove outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2 inch wide slices, and separate into rings. Next, fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with Egg Beaters.
- Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour crumbs onto a small dish.
- One by one, coat each ring in egg and then crumbs (give each ring a shake after the egg bath). Place on an oven-safe baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through.
- **Although you'll only actually use a quarter cup, it may be easier to dunk the rings if you dole out a bit more Egg Beaters while preparing.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
- Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

Tips:

- Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the breading adhere to the onions and give them a crispy coating.
- Use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and crushed pork rinds to create a crispy, flavorful breading.
- Season the breadcrumb mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to add flavor.
- Coat the onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture twice for a thicker, more flavorful coating.
- Bake the onion rings in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.
