I just tried this recipe. They were out of this world. I will never buy from the store again. They were so simple to make. I used my mandolin slicer to get the onions paper thin. After that it was simple. And they taste way better than the store bought ones. Thank you for this recipe. We loved it.

Soooooo tasty!! We used gluten free flour and they came out great!!

OMG,these are so good!  The celery salt surprised me, but it was perfect! Added a dash of ground red pepper and the family ate them faster than I could cook them!  It's a KEEPER!

Fried Onion Straws (Crispy Onion Strings) Recipe

onion

all-purpose flour

tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt

tsp garlic

tsp black pepper

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Prep: Peel the onions, remove the ends and slice them in half and then into very thin half moons. Separate the rings and place them in a large bowl.

Soak: Pour the buttermilk over the sliced onions and toss gently to coat. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps to soften the onions and ensures the coating sticks well.

Prepare Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper.

Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer, skillet, or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Onions: Working in batches, lift the onions out of the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge the onions in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry Onion Straws: Carefully place the coated onions in the hot oil, a handful at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, transfer the fried onion straws to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat until all onions are fried.

Serve: Serve the homemade onion straws immediately as a delicious topping for beef belly sandwiches.

Its crazy how as a kid I hated onions and now I always keep these on hand because they are good on everything. These are super easy to make and will last a couple of days in the fridge.
