Onion Rings

We’re sharing all of our tips and tricks so you can make light and crispy, restaurant-quality Onion Rings at home! (It’s easy!)

Yield: 4 servings 1x

Prep: 15 minsCook: 15 minsTotal: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds large sweet onions such as Vidalia (about two large onions)
2 quarts canola oil for frying
Table salt to salt the hot onion rings as they come out of the hot oil.

Dry mix

1 1/4 cups corn flour (Bob’s Red Mill makes this among others and is typically found in the natural foods isle. It may also be called Masa Harina)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked cumin (regular cumin is OK as a substitute if you can’t find smoked)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

Egg Wash

3 whole eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup beer (we used Blue Moon but any favorite beer will work fine)

Dipping Sauce (optional)

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 tablespoon red curry paste (available in most supermarkets)
1 1/2 tablespoons drained horseradish
2 tablespoons sweet pepper relish (available in most supermarkets)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds black pepper

Instructions

If you are making the dipping sauce, mix the Dipping Sauce ingredients together (see listed above) and combine until well mixed. Refrigerate until needed.
Trim both ends off of each onion and make a thin slit in the skin and peel. Cut each onion into thick slices at least a half inch. Separate the rings and place on a platter.
Place the oil in a large wok or cast iron pan and with a candy thermometer, get oil to 375 degrees F and hold at that temperature. As you begin cooking, try to maintain at least 350 degrees F so keep the heat on high as you fry and let the oil recover between batches.
In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients.
In another large bowl, mix all of the egg wash ingredients.
Dredge all of the onion rings in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
After shaking off excess, dip in egg wash, drain then finally back into the flour mixture. Shake excess and place on a platter.
Fry in the hot oil in three batches for two to three minutes and using a spider or strainer, remove to a platter lined with paper towels. Lightly salt the hot rings with table salt if desired as soon as they come out of the oil.
These onions rings are delicious as-is, with ketchup, or served with the dipping sauce.
