   Meanwhile, in a large bowl , whisk together tempura batter mix , 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup cold water until smooth. (TIP: If mixture is too thick, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches a pancake-batterlike consistency.) Toss onion rings with Fry Seasoning ; shake off excess. Stir into batter until fully coated; set aside. Heat at 1/3-inch layer of olive oil in a large, heavybottomed pan over medium-high heat.

   Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, working in batches, carefully add coated onion rings in a single layer. (TIP: Place smaller rings inside larger ones to fit more in the pan per batch.) Fry, flipping once, until golden-brown, ⏱️ 2 minutes to ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Transfer into a paper-towel-lined plate. (TIP: If onion rings cool, add to a baking sheet; reheat in oven until ready to serve.)
