Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to mix evenly.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish or plate.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Step 6
Dip an onion ring into the batter, letting the excess drip off, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated onion ring into the hot oil. Repeat with additional onion rings, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Step 8
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
