Ready in just 25 minutes, these fried onions are perfect for elevating your meal or serving as an addictive standalone treat. Whether you’re recreating Scandinavian flavors or looking for a versatile garnish, this recipe is a must-try for any kitchen enthusiast craving bold, crispy bites.
Peel the onions and slice them thinly into rings, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Ensure the slices are even for uniform frying.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Toss the onion slices in the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Test if the oil is ready by dropping a small pinch of flour into it—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, carefully add the floured onion slices to the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onions from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat until all the onion slices are fried.
Serve your crisp fried onions warm as a topping for your favorite dishes, or enjoy them as a crispy side snack.
