Onion rings are a popular appetizer or side dish, typically associated with American cuisine. They consist of sliced onions dipped in a batter made from flour, eggs, milk, and seasonings, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Some variations use bread crumbs or spices for extra texture and flavor. While onions themselves are low in calories and rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, the frying process significantly increases fat and calorie content. Onion rings are high in saturated fats and may contain trans fats, depending on the cooking oil used. As a result, they are considered an indulgent food rather than a healthful choice. Baking or air-frying onion rings can provide a lighter alternative with reduced fat content. Enjoy onion rings in moderation and pair them with nutrient-dense foods to balance your meal.
