Crispy and Crunch Onion Rings

Mmmm….good. Onion rings are one of my favourite snacks or side dishes. And when it comes to fast food onion rings, A&W are bar far the best ones out there. They have that amazing crispy and crunchy outside, and the seasoning salt just puts it over the top.

Now, you can go out and buy your seasoning salt, but its so easy to make at home. And then you can adjust it so that it tastes exactly how you like it. Here’s what you will need to make these amazing onion rings and sprinkle them with seasoning salt.

Seasoning Salt
2tbsp salt – I prefer fine sea salt
1tsp onion powder
1tsp granulated and dehydrated garlic, but use regular garlic powder if that’s what you have
2tsp smoked hot paprika

Thoroughly blend all ingredients together and set aside.

Onion Rings
2-3 large white onions
1cup flour
2-3cups breadcrumbs, extra dry
Batter for onion rings
1/2cup flour
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1/2cup+1tbsp milk
1 large egg

1. Begin by slicing your onions in large rings. Check to see if there is any onion skins that are on any of the rings, removing and discarding. This will affect how the batter and breadcrumbs cling to the onions. Place the large rings in the flour, and save the smaller inner rings for another meal.
2. Sift together all of the dry ingredients for the batter, Make sure that the ingredients are well combined.
3. Blend together the milk and the egg, making sure to mix well so that the batter requires less mixing.
4. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix batter just long enough to make a smooth batter. The less you mix this the better.
5. Toss onions in the flour and tap off any excess flour.
6. Place onions in batter, and then allow excess batter to drain from the onions. Place in the breadcrumbs,
7. Make sure to coat all of onion with breadcrumbs. Its best to use a fork as its likely to stick to your fingers creating gaps in your coating.
8. Place in 350F oil and fry. You will need to flip them in the oil as they will float so that your get even cooking on both sides.
9. Once the onion ring is cooked, place in a paper towel lined bowl so that the oil can drain, and sprinkle with the seasoning salt.
10. Plate them up and enjoy.
