Onion Rings
This recipe for classic onion rings uses a delightful combination of flavors, yielding a crispy exterior and tender onion on the inside! Moreover, its straightforward steps and minimal ingredients make it an effortless dish to prepare, ready to snack on in no time at all!
Ingredients
- 2 large onions Vidalia or white
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup soy milk or alternative
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 inch in pot
Instructions
- Peel the onions and cut them into thick slices. Separate the slices into individual rings and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional spices you desire. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Pour the plant-based milk into a separate bowl.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to around 375°F (190°C). Dip each onion ring into the milk, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Make sure the ring is evenly coated on all sides.
- Carefully place the coated onion ring into the hot oil. Repeat the process for a few more rings, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them once during cooking to ensure even browning.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings until all are cooked.
- Serve the onion rings immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
Notes
TO STORE: Allow the onion rings to cool completely to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container or resealable bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
TO REHEAT: When ready to enjoy again, reheat the onion rings in a preheated oven (at around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes) or in a toaster oven at a low temperature to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the onion rings soggy.
