onion ring

The crispest, lightest onion rings you'll ever taste.

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.

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.

This cheeseburger onion ring roll is a fun spin on a cheeseburger. It&#039;s low carb but absolutely delivers on delicious!

Viral Cheeseburger Onion Ring Roll

lb ground meat

tsp each salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika + chili powder

chicken broth

American cheese

pickles, (sliced)

Sprinkle the baking sheet with cheese so that there is a thin even layer of cheese. Next, line up the onion ring slices so that they are not totally overlapping but right next to one another. Lightly brush tops of onion rings with olive oil (or spray). Then season with salt, garlic powder and paprika generously. Bake for 18-20 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through) or until golden brown and crispy.

Onion Ring Roll:

While the onion rings are baking in the oven, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add in the ground meat and use a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Next, add in the seasonings and stir to coat. Then add in the broth and cover for 10 minutes. Uncover and stir the mixture. Remove pan from burner but keep the pan covered.

Ground Meat:

Once the onion rings are done allow them to cool for just two minutes (don&#39;t wait too long because the onion sheet will harden and you won&#39;t be able to roll it). Flip the onion sheet over. Layer the ham slices and cheese slices evenly. Spread out the ground beef evenly and lastly place on the pickles. Start rolling tightly from the short side of the rectangle, upwards towards the other short side. Reposition the roll on the baking sheet so that the seam side is down and tucked under the roll. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

Assembly:

Delicious! Very filling, I ate too much. :) I sprayed the foil really well before putting down the cheese and had no sticking. My onions didn’t get as crispy in the middle so I may have put too much. But, we still liked it. 

We left off the ham, it wasn’t our thing, and we mixed mayo and hot sauce (e.g. Frank’s) for a spicy mayo dip.

This was so delicious. I saw the previous comments. We had no problem with any sticking. but we used 100% shedded Parmesan cheese nothing from a can or anything like that. It peeled off like a dream. We didn't use the ham but we did the rest as followed and even added pickled red onions and jalapenos for a little pop. It literally was Instagram worthy.

Made this and it was as advertised. Yummy comfort food and I reckon better than a burger with the same ingredients. Looked cool too. Extra parmesan made it easier to roll.

It tasted good. I cut the onions thin but it took an hour for the onion/cheese layer to crisp. I substituted ground chicken and grated mozzarella for the beef and cheddar. I kept the ham and covered it with a layer of roasted red bell peppers. Rolling it wasn't too bad but even after the final cooking it was crumbly. We also had to use a fire and knife but as I said, it tasted good. May try it as a casserole next time with a bottom and middle layer of the crispy onion/cheese.

I had no issues with it sticking to the parchment paper but did spray oil on it before sprinkling the Parmesan as one review suggested. I did have issues with the cheese/onion part tearing while it was being baked in roll form so we had to eat it with a fork and knife. I think sprinkling a slightly thicker layer of Parmesan would have helped. In terms of flavor I thought it was too salty but my husband liked it. I’m not sure I would make it again but it was a fun one to try and not too challenging.

Tried the recipe twice, but cheese mixture stuck to parchment and non stick foil too. Ended up using ham as the outer layer and adding salvaged onions/cheese mixture to center with other ingredients. Highly recommend greasing your base layer before baking.
