🧅 Ingredients
You’ll need:
For the Onions
2 large onions (yellow or sweet onions work best)
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
For the Batter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cold sparkling water or cold milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
For Coating
1 cup flour (for dredging)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
🔪 How to Make Delicious Onion Rings
This Delicious onion rings recipe you’ll love! is simple and quick.
1. Slice the Onions
Cut onions into ¼–½ inch rings.
Separate the rings gently.
Pro tip: Use the large outer rings for the best crunch.
2. Prepare the Dredge
Place 1 cup flour in a shallow dish.
Coating the onion rings in dry flour first helps the batter stick perfectly.
3. Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Egg
Baking powder
Garlic powder
Paprika
Salt & pepper
Cold sparkling water or milk
The cold liquid makes the batter light and crispy.
Mix until smooth—don’t over-whisk.
4. Heat the Oil
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot or large skillet.
The oil must be hot enough; otherwise, the onion rings will absorb too much oil and turn soggy.
5. Dip & Coat
Dip each onion ring into the flour dredge
Then dip into the batter
Optional: Roll in panko for extra crispiness
6. Fry Until Golden
Fry onion rings in batches (don’t overcrowd)
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown
Remove and drain on paper towels
You’ll LOVE the crispiness!

Use cold batter for extra crunch.
