Onion rings are a classic crispy snack or side dish! 🧅🍟 They’re basically slices of onion that are battered or breaded and then fried until golden and crunchy. Here’s a breakdown:
- Onion choice: Large sweet onions work best (like Vidalia) because they’re mild and hold up well.
- Batter: Can be a simple flour-and-milk mixture, or you can use breadcrumbs or even beer batter for extra crispiness.
- Cooking: Usually deep-fried in oil until golden brown, though you can also bake them for a healthier version.
- Serving: Often served with ketchup, ranch, or a dipping sauce like spicy mayo.
Fun fact: The secret to crispy onion rings is making sure the batter sticks well and frying at the right temperature so they cook through without burning.
