Method
For Onion Rings
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
For Garlic Fries
- 5
Bake the Fries
Prepare the frozen french fries according to package directions, typically baking them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
- 6
Prepare the Garlic Oil
While fries are baking, finely chop the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat and add the chopped garlic. Cook gently until fragrant but not browned (about 3-4 minutes).
- 7
Mix Fries with Garlic Oil
Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and drizzle the garlic oil over the fries. Toss well to ensure all fries are coated.
- 8
Season the Fries
Sprinkle the fries with chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper, tossing again to combine.
