About Fried onions

Fried onions are a flavorful condiment or topping made by cooking sliced onions in hot oil or butter until golden brown and crispy. Common across various cuisines, including Western, Indian, and Middle Eastern, they enhance dishes like burgers, casseroles, biryanis, and soups. Nutrient-wise, onions are rich in antioxidants like quercetin and vitamins such as vitamin C, which support immune health. However, the frying process can increase calorie and fat content, particularly when using large amounts of oil or adding flour coatings. Moderation is key, as consuming fried onions sparingly allows you to enjoy their savory, caramelized taste without overindulging in excess fats. A healthier preparation method might involve air-frying or using less oil while still achieving a satisfying crunch and sweetness.
