Onion Rings – Version 1
Those of you who follow me know how much I don’t like to fry foods. However, onion rings just need to be fried in my opinion. We have an air fryer but I’m just not crazy about them fixed that way or baking them in the oven. I will post any Onion Rings that we think tastes good fried and this is the first. So I am going to experiment with some different recipes and call this one Version – 1.
Ingredients – and pepper!
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a fork.
Add the flour, salt, pepper and Parmesan Cheese mixing well.
In a large frying pan heat oil (about 1” deep) to 350 degrees.
Drop the onion rings, one at a time, completely into the batter.
Lift the onion ring up and let some of the batter drip off.
Carefully place the onion rings into the hot oil.
Once the bottom side is golden brown, use tongs and carefully
flip the onion rings over browning the opposite side.
When both sides are golden brown, remove from the
oil and place onto a paper towel lined plate then serve.

Thank you can’t go wrong with Onion Rings…lol
Haha.. Absolutely! 😉
Parmesan cheese! Now that’s a delicious sounding twist. And yes. Anyone who does anything but deep fry onion rings needs to be slapped upside the head. 😑
Hahaha I’m glad I’m not alone! Thank you Blaine!
These look delicious Diane! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Cate and you are so welcome!
Wow! These look great! 😋
Thank you Christy we love the Vidalia Onion because it is so sweet and makes these taste so good!
In every instance I’ve tried to make onion rings, the batter seems to fall off while they’re frying so there ends up being bare spots of onion (not pretty). Maybe it’s because I’m not using egg. I’ll try this method instead, because yours look the way I WANT mine to look!
Aw thank you! This simple batter stuck really well. Cut your onions rings, separate them and let them sit while you prepare the batter and heat up the oil. That way thy dry out allowing the batter to stick even better.

I love fried food too much!
I use to eat it all the time but now that I’m older…well😞
I’m not a fan of onion rings, but I have seen them prepared by soaking them overnight in buttermilk and then prepping them for frying. Looks good though.
Interesting! I have never heard of them soaking in buttermilk. I may have to research that one. Thanks!
🙂
Better than fries in my opinion.
I agree Linda if they are made with a sweet onion. So good!
French fries I mean …
