Best Ever Onion Rings
Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 large onions peeled and trimmed (about 9 to 11 ounces each)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup nonalcoholic or regular beer
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cut onions crosswise into 1/2-inch slices; pull apart into rings. (Refrigerate broken or end pieces for other uses.) Combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in beer, beating with wire whisk until foam is gone.Baked version: Toss onion rings in batter. Transfer to plate, letting excess drip off as you transfer. Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place about half the onion rings in single layer in heated skillet, cook until browned, turning once, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining onions. Transfer to ungreased shallow baking pans or cookie sheets, arranging in single layer. Bake at 425 degrees for 6 minutes, or until crisp.
- Deep-fried version: Heat at least 2 inches oil in deep-fryer for 5 to 10 minutes or according to fryer directions. (If fryer has a temperature adjustment, set it at 375 degrees and heat until light goes out.) Drop batter-coated onion rings into hot oil (about 10 to 20 at a time). Fry 2 to 4 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towels before serving.
- Variation: Add 2 teaspoons each of dried thyme, chili powder and ground cumin to batter. After baking or frying, sprinkle crispy rings with additional chili powder, ground cumin or bottled pepper blends, if desired.
- Serve with the Wild West Sauce and the Grain Mustard Aioli

I find they work well on a hot plate or can even be left in a low oven before Shabbat starts.
That is great to hear. I cannot wait to try this out.
why is this a Shabbat menu item? I cannot imagine that they are as crisp by Shabbat lunch, or even really by dinner.
try refreshing, it was fixed.
The browse bar opens up on top of the recipe and it blocks it.
I LOVE that there is a baked version!
