Crispy Fried Onion Strips

  • 2-3 cups peanut or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large Walla Walla onion
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Sea salt

Place buttermilk into a medium bowl.

Cut off ends of onion. Peel skins off of the onion. Cut in half down the middle. Slice onion into very, very thin slices. No. I mean, like, you know. Really, really thin. Place sliced onions into buttermilk.

Place flour & cayenne on a plate. Stir together.

Remove some onion strips from buttermilk and dip into flour mixture to coat. Lay them spread out evenly on a half sheet pan and let them rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer. Use a thermometer to test and bring temp up to 375°F.

Carefully place some in the hot oil. Fry until dark golden brown.

When finished frying, remove onions from oil and place upon a plate on a folded paper towel to drain excess oil from onions. Sprinkle with salt right away,

Enjoy while hot.
