How to make homemade crispy fried onion strings or French fried onion, an easy and quick recipe, delicious sprinkled on steaks, on salads or as an appetizer!

I know fried food is not healthy… But who doesn’t like it? Crispy French fries, crispy fried chicken and crispy French fried onion strings, yummy to the max!

Although I don’t make fried food very often, when I do it’s always a hit in my home. I’ve made a large batch of these fried onion strings but I only managed to plate a small portion for photography purpose, my son entered the kitchen while I was taking the last batch out of the oil and the whole bowl was his, lol!

I love to top my steaks or the famous green bean casserole with these fried onions. They’re also delicious on top of a salad bowl, as a snack, they make a delicious appetizer for gatherings too!

I used yellow onions for this recipe, red onions are also delicious fried, they’re a bit sweeter.

How to make crispy French fried onion strings:

  • Peel and slice the onions thinly either with a mandolin or simply with a sharp knife, separate the rings and slit them once, add them to a bowl filled with milk and let them soak for an hour
  • Fill a medium bowl with 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, or feel free to add the spices according to your taste, mix thoroughly
  • Do not add salt to the flour as it will soften the onions, salt is added once the onion strings are fried
  • Heat 3 cups of oil to 375°F (180°C) into a large saucepan, dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture for a light coating, fry them in batches until light golden and crisp, it takes about 3 minutes, don’t fry them until too dark as they’re continuing to fry once out of the oil so hot they are
  • Remove them from the oil to a bowl coated with kitchen towels to absorb the excess oil, sprinkle with salt if you want

Two large onions go a long way and will yield a large bowl of fried onion strings.
