Ingredients for Sweet Vidalia Onion Rings

Method

Directions for Sweet Vidalia Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the Vidalia onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully drop the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with avocado lemon-herb dipping sauce.
