Onion Straws

Method

Fried Onion Straws

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion

    Peel the sweet onion and slice it into thin rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Onion Straws

    Dip the onion rings in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
