Fried Onion
Fried onions, often referred to as crispy fried onions or French fried onions, are onions that have been thinly sliced and fried until they turn crispy and golden brown. They are a popular topping or garnish in various cuisines and dishes, providing both flavor and texture.
The process of making fried onions typically involves the following steps:
Slicing onions: Onions are thinly sliced, usually into rings or half-rings. The slices are separated to form individual pieces.
Coating and frying: The sliced onions are often coated in a thin layer of flour or cornstarch to create a crispy texture. They are then deep-fried or pan-fried until they become golden and crispy. The fried onions are then drained on paper towels to remove excess oil.
