These crispy onion strings are a delightful snack or topping, perfect for adding a crunchy texture to your dishes.
Slice the onions into thin rings and separate them.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
Place the onion rings in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
Soaking in buttermilk helps tenderize the onions and adds flavor.
In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature.
Take a handful of soaked onions, shake off excess buttermilk, and coat them in the flour mixture.
Coat the onions evenly for a consistent crust.
Fry the coated onions in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain oil temperature.
Remove the fried onions and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat gently with paper towels for extra crispiness.
Serve the crispy onion strings immediately or store them in an airtight container.
Enjoy them as a snack or a topping for your favorite dishes.
