Ingredients

• 2 large onions
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: cayenne pepper for added heat

Directions

1. Peel the onions and cut off the ends. Slice the onions thinly into rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. If you like spicy onions, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be at least 2 inches deep.
4. Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
5. Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Be cautious as the oil may splatter. Fry the onions for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried onions to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
7. Allow the frizzled onions to cool slightly before using them as a topping on your favorite dishes.
8. Store any leftover frizzled onions in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven before serving.
