Description
Crispy Homemade Onion Rings are the ultimate crunchy snack or side dish. With a golden, seasoned coating and tender sweet onions inside, they’re impossible to resist and surprisingly easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 large yellow onions, sliced into thick rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet for draining.
- In one bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in milk until combined.
- Set up three bowls for dredging: seasoned flour, wet batter, and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the batter, then press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- Fry onion rings in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the wire rack. Sprinkle lightly with salt while hot.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Let breaded rings rest for 10 minutes before frying for better coating adhesion.
- Drain on a rack, not paper towels, to maintain crispiness.
