How To Make crispy fried onion strings
-
Step 1Cut the thin onion slices in half and transfer them to a large bowl. If some layers are stuck together, separate them.
-
Step 2In a small bowl, we’ll combine flour and sweet paprika; whisk well.
-
Step 3Sprinkle on a third of the flour mixture on the onion pieces and toss them around before adding another third. Repeat until the flour mixture is all in and making sure the onion pieces are well coated.
-
Step 4In a shallow skillet over medium heat, add oil and bring the temperature to 375ºF.
-
Step 5Working in batches, add the coated pieces, stir them gently and fry them for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Step 6Halfway through frying, we’ll flip them over so both sides are done nicely.
-
Step 7When they’re done, using a spider strainer, transfer the fried onions to a baking sheet lined with a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy and allowing any excess oil to drip off; spread them into a single layer.
-
Step 8If they’re not used right away, transfer them to a 170ºF preheated oven to keep them warm until ready of serve.
