Fried Onion Strings Recipe
Fried Onion Strings - a simple, step-by-step tutorial on how to make homemade fried onion strings! Perfect on salads or burgers!
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet yellow onion
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or regular milk*
- 1 cup all-purpose flour regular or gluten-free
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- avocado oil enough to fill skillet to ½ inch deep**
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Slice: Use a mandolin or sharp knife to thinly slice 1 large sweet yellow onion.
- Prep two bowls: In one bowl, add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and in another bowl, add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Add onions to the milk and let sit 15-30 minutes.
- Oil: Add enough avocado oil to a large cast iron skillet so it is approx. ½ inch or so deep. You just need enough to submerge the thinly sliced onion so it doesn't need to be super deep.
- Heat Oil: Bring oil to 375℉.
- Bread Onions: In batches, take some sliced onions out of the milk (shake off any excess liquid) and place in flour mixture. Ensure they are fully coated with flour and then carefully transfer to the hot oil.
- Cook Onions: Let onions cook (flipping as necessary) until they are nice and brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove carefully and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- Serve: Use in your favorite recipes - we love these on our ultimate grilled bacon cheeseburgers!
Notes
- Slicing Onions: we used a mandolin to get nice, uniform slices that were super thin.
- *Milk: we have tested this recipe with regular milk and almond milk - both worked just fine!
- **Avocado Oil: we only tested this with avocado oil, but it would most likely work with other oils as well!
- Make ahead: these are really best served immediately so I wouldn't recommend making these more than an hour or two ahead of when you will be using them.
