These super-crispy, baked onion rings are a dead ringer (pun intended) for the deep-fried variety. A touch of cayenne adds nice heat. Slicing the onions into thin rings and baking them in a single layer on a large pan are the two key secrets to achieving a crispy texture. If you don't have a baking pan large enough to hold the onion rings, simply use 2 pans and switch their positions in the oven after you turn the onions rings. Pair them with a juicy lettuce-wrapped turkey or lean beef burger and serve as a meal or serve them as a party app at your next get together.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

In batches, dip onion rings in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and then dredge in cornflake crumbs, turning to coat both sides; place in a single layer on prepared pan.
