ONION RINGS

Delicately battered onion rings can be made at home without fuss; seltzer, or carbonated water, is the secret ingredient. Fried parsley adds a steakhouse flourish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Vidalia onion, sliced crosswise into thin rings
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (12 ounces) seltzer or other carbonated water
6 cups vegetable oil
Coarse salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed and dried very well

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Place onion rings in a large bowl of ice water for 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and seltzer.
  • In a heavy 5-quart pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Working in 7 to 8 batches, place onions in batter; using your fingers, lift out, letting excess drip off. Carefully place in oil, making sure not to overcrowd pot; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer rings to prepared baking sheet, and season with salt. Keep warm in a 250-degree oven. Return oil to 375 degrees before starting next batch.
  • Once all the onion rings are done, place on a platter. Very carefully place parsley in pot (oil will spatter), and fry until crisp, 10 seconds; remove, using a spider or slotted spoon, and season with salt. Sprinkle onions with parsley.

Crispy Onion Rings image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Spanish onions, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Whole milk, as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 lager-style beers (12-ounces each)
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
  • Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
  • In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
  • Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

ONION RINGS RECIPE BY TASTY



Onion Rings Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: nonstick cooking spray, large white onion, whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, large eggs, all-purpose flour, dipping sauce

Provided by Mercedes Sandoval

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, optional
1 large white onion, or large yellow onion
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs, or panko bread crumbs (50 g)
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
  • Cut the onion crosswise into ½-inch (1 cm) slices and gently push apart each layer to get individual rings. Set aside.

  • Dredge the onion rings in the flour, then the eggs, then finally in the bread crumb mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
  • Arrange the onion rings on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.

Tips:

  • Use sweet onions: Sweet onions, like Vidalia or Maui, have a mild and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy coating of onion rings.
  • Cut the onions evenly: Cutting the onions into uniform rings will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for rings that are about ¼-inch thick.
  • Use a buttermilk batter: Buttermilk batter gives onion rings a light and fluffy coating. Make sure to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Double-coat the onion rings: Double-coating the onion rings in batter and breadcrumbs will help them stay crispy. Make sure to shake off any excess batter and breadcrumbs before frying.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the onion rings will brown too quickly and won't have a chance to cook through. If the oil is too cold, the onion rings will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels: After frying, drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the onion rings hot: Onion rings are best served hot and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Onion rings are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They can be served with burgers, sandwiches, or as an appetizer. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make perfect onion rings at home. So next time you're looking for a crispy and flavorful snack, give onion rings a try.
