Crispy and golden onion rings, the perfect special recipe snack served with your favorite sauces for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
For the Onion Rings:
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
- 2 large eggs (optional, for extra binding)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For Serving:
- Ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Onions
Separate the onion slices into individual rings and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Coatings
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. In a second bowl, pour milk (and whisk in eggs if using). Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Step 3: Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the milk (or egg-milk mixture), and finally coat with breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, repeat the milk and breadcrumb coating.
Step 4: Fry the Onion Rings
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sauces like ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
