These onion rings are to die for awesome. This is by far the best I've tasted. The cook time I've listed is for frying the rings. Ingredients:
3 large onions (about 9 to 11 ounces each), peeled and trimmed |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon paprika |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup non-alcoholic or regular beer |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Cut onions crosswise into 1/2-inch slices; pull apart into rings. (Refrigerate broken or end pieces for other uses.) Combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in 1 cup beer, beat with wire whisk until no longer foamy.
2. Toss onion rings in batter. Transfer to plate, letting excess drip off.

5. Heat at least 2 inches oil in deep-fryer for 5 to 10 minutes or according to fryer directions. (If fryer has a temperature adjustment, set it at 375°F and heat until light goes out.) Drop batter-coated onion rings into hot oil (about 10 to 20 at a time). Fry 2 to 4 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towels before serving.

7. Oven Baked Version
8. Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place about half the onion rings in single layer in heated skillet, cook until browned, turning once, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining onions. Transfer to ungreased shallow baking pans or cookie sheets, arranging in single layer. Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes, or until crisp.
9. Variation: Add 2 teaspoons dried thyme, chili powder and ground cumin to batter. After baking or frying, sprinkle crispy rings with additional chili powder, ground cumin or bottled pepper blends, if desired.
