Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 cups | Canola oil |
| 1 | Large yellow onion |
| 2 cups | Milk |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 2 tsp | Black pepper |
| 2 tsp | Paprika |
| 1/2 tsp | Cayenne pepper |
| 1 cup | All-purpose flour |
Instructions:
-
Heat Oil:
- Heat canola oil in a heavy stockpot to 375ºF (190ºC). Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the onions for deep-frying.
-
-
Prepare Onions:
- Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the yellow onion into rings. Consistency in thickness ensures even frying.
-
Soak Onions:
- Place the sliced onion rings in a large bowl and cover them with milk. This helps soften the onions and adds a hint of creaminess to the texture.
-
Prepare Coating:
- In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
-
Coat Onions:
- Drain the soaked onions from the milk and dredge them in the flour mixture. Ensure each onion ring is evenly coated, shaking off any excess flour.
-
Fry Onions:
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary to maintain consistent temperature and crispiness.
-
Fry Until Golden:
- Deep-fry the onions until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 2 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
-
Drain and Season:
- Once fried to perfection, remove the frizzled onions from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Seasoning:
- While still hot, sprinkle the fried onions with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. This adds a final burst of flavor and a hint of smokiness.
Serve these delectable Frizzled Onions as a crispy topping for salads, burgers, sandwiches, or alongside your favorite main dishes. They’re sure to elevate any meal with their irresistible crunch and savory taste! Enjoy! 🎉
