SLICE onion in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Prepare enough tempura mix according to package directions to yield about 1 1/2 cups. Stir in salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
HEAT oil to a depth of 3 inches in 4-quart saucepan or deep fryer. Heat to 375ºF. Dip onion pieces in tempura batter, letting excess drip back into bowl.
FRY a few at a time in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown, turning two or three times. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt . Serve immediately with Zesty Ketchup.
