Slice the Onions
Peel the sweet onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises, it's ready.

Drain and Season
Once fried, remove the onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired.
