About Onion petals

Onion Petals are a popular appetizer or side dish made by slicing onions into petal-like shapes, coating them in seasoned batter, and deep-frying until crispy. Originating from American cuisine, they are often served with a tangy dipping sauce. The dish is rich in flavor, with the sweetness of the onion complementing the savory, spiced batter. Onions themselves are nutrient-dense and contain vitamins C and B6, as well as antioxidants that support immune health and reduce inflammation. However, the frying process and batter increase the calorie and fat content, which may not make them the healthiest choice for regular consumption. Baking or air-frying onion petals could be a lighter alternative. While indulgent, onion petals can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet or a treat for special occasions.
