Ingredients
-
2 large yellow or sweet onions, cut into thick rings
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (plus ½ cup for dredging)
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp paprika
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
1 cup cold beer (lager or ale works best)
-
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the onions: Slice onions into ½-inch thick rings. Separate and set aside. Lightly dredge onion rings in ½ cup flour to help batter stick.
2️⃣ Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in cold beer until smooth.
3️⃣ Heat the oil: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4️⃣ Fry the rings: Dip each floured onion ring into the beer batter, letting excess drip off. Carefully place into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
5️⃣ Drain and serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray. Serve hot with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
-
For extra crunch, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the batter.
-
Keep fried rings warm in a 250°F oven while frying remaining batches.
-
Try with a spicy dipping sauce or chipotle mayo for a twist.
