Onion rings are a wonderful addition to any meal. And especially great are onion strings. The thinner the onions, the crispier your finished product will be. Onions are known for bringing tears to the kitchen, but you’ll cry for JOY once you’ve tried these delicious onion strings!
CRISPY ONION STRINGS
1 small onion, cut into rings (thickness depends on how you like them. I sliced them super thin (1/8") to make the onion strings and sliced them 1/4" thick for thin rings that could be placed easily on burgers. For snacking, I would recommend 1/2" thick)
1/3 cup Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup + 1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried dill weed
1/4 tsp paprika
Line a 8x8 baking dish with a couple of paper towels. In a small frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, toss sliced onion with 1/4 cup flour. In another small bowl, pour buttermilk. In a third small bowl, combine 1/3 cup flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, dill, and paprika. In small batches, take flour coated onion rings and dip them in buttermilk, completely coating them. Then transfer to the flour/breadcrumb mixture and completely coat. Place onion rings in the oil (I can fit about 6-7 onion rings in my pan). It is important to not crowd the onion in the pan because they won't cook evenly. When onion rings are a light golden brown, using tongs, remove onions from oil and place in the paper towel lined dish. Serve as a snack, side dish, or topping to your favorite meal!
These crispy thin onion strings look DELICIOUS!!!! I could eat that whole plate right now!! They look so crispy! Yum-o! It would be great to make at home because when you order them in a restaurant, the orders are TOO small. Thank you!!! I may never go to a restaurant again if I keep getting your recipes!!
