Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large firm onions (yellow or white)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • Oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (for cheesy upgrade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and slice them thinly into even rings about 1/8 inch thick to ensure they crisp up nicely during frying.
  2. Set Up Your Breading Stations: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine the flour with salt, paprika, and garlic powder. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese if using.
  3. Coat the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first in the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat it to about 350°F (175°C), which is the perfect temperature for frying onion chips without burning.
  5. Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings in batches into the hot oil. Fry each batch for 2–3 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Homemade Onion Ring Chips hot for the best texture and flavor. Add a pinch of salt while warm to maximize taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm onions to get the best texture and natural sweetness.
  • Slice the onion rings evenly for uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Keep oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F to avoid soggy or burnt chips.
  • Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding for even cooking.
  • Drain chips properly on paper towels or a wire rack to keep them crisp.
  • For a spicy version, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
  • To make gluten-free chips, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative to frying.
  • Reheat leftovers in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
