The Food Lab's Foolproof Onion Rings Recipe

onions,

peanut oil

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

baking powder

baking soda

paprika

light-flavored beer (such as PBR or Budweiser), ice-cold

80-proof vodka

Kosher Salt

Separate the onion rounds into individual rings. Place in a gallon-sized zipper-lock freezer bag and put them in the freezer until completely frozen, at least 1 hour (they can stay in the freezer for up to 1 month).

When ready to fry, remove the onion rings from the freezer bag, transfer to a bowl, and thaw under tepid running water. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and dry the rings thoroughly. Carefully peel off the inner papery membrane from each ring and discard (the rings will be very floppy). Set aside.

Preheat the oil to 375°F in a large wok or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and paprika in a medium bowl and whisk together. Combine the beer and vodka in a small bowl.

Slowly add the beer mixture to the flour mixture, whisking constantly until the batter has texture of thick paint (you may not need all of the beer). The batter should leave a trail if you drip it back into the bowl off the whisk. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are OK. Dip one onion ring in the batter, making sure that all surfaces are coated, lift it out, letting the excess batter drip off, and add it to the hot oil by slowly lowering it in with your fingers until just one side is sticking out, then dropping it in. Repeat until half of the rings are in the oil. Fry, flipping the rings halfway through cooking, until they are deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the rings to a large mixing bowl lined with paper towels and toss while sprinkling salt over them. The fried rings can be placed on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and kept hot in a 200°F oven while you fry the remaining rings. Serve the rings immediately.

You can rustle up these crispy bites with a few storecupboard ingredients - sparkling water is the key to a really light batter

Onion rings

onion

groundnut oil

self-raising flour

water

Use a fork to steady your onion. Slice the onion into rings about 1cm wide. Remove the skin and separate the rings.

Heat the oil to 180C in a heavy-based pan – it should be no more than 1/ 3 full.

Meanwhile put the flour and sparkling water in a bowl and season generously. Whisk together to form a batter.

Coat a small batch of onion rings in batter. Carefully lower into the hot oil and deep-fry until crisp and golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a piece of kitchen towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining onion and batter.

These low carb onion ring chips are made with only 2 primary ingredients! They&#39;re perfect for those onion ring cravings.

2 Ingredient Onion Ring Chips (Low Carb)

white onions, (sliced 1/4 inch thick rounds)

oz shredded parmesan cheese

olive oil

salt, garlic powder + paprika, (to taste)

serve with Lazy Tzatziki

Preheat oven to 400℉. Line an 12x17 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the baking sheet with the cheese so that there is a thin even layer of cheese. Next, line up the onion ring slices so that they are not overlapping but right next to one another. Brush tops of onion rings with olive oil. Then season the tops with salt, garlic powder and paprika. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then break apart to serve.

Thay came out delicious. this is perfect for a snack on my low carb diet. thank you!

I won't be making this again. sliced it on mandolin 1/4 inch thick. Followed recipe exactly. it wasn't as crispy as it could have been and was disappointing. I'm glad I only used a half an onion so I didn't waste to much Parmesan.
