Ingredients
- 2 large onions cut into rings
- 1 (130 g) cup flour
- ½ (70 g) cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water cold
- 2 cups ( 150 g) panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola
Instructions
- Prepare the onions: Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while whisking until smooth and slightly thick.
- Coat the onions: Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then coat in panko breadcrumbs. Press lightly to help the crumbs stick.

- Heat the oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 175°C (350°F). Use enough oil to submerge the rings.
- Fry the onion rings: Fry the onion rings in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use ice-cold sparkling water for a lighter, crispier batter.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying — it keeps the rings crunchy.
