Crispy Onion Rings Recipe & Tips to Reheat Onion Rings - The Hobby Wife

If you're in the mood for a delightful snack or a crunchy side dish, crispy onion rings are the perfect choice! To make these moreish treats, start by slicing large onions into thick rings, then soak them in buttermilk for at least an hour. This not only tenderises the onions but also helps the batter stick. For the coating, combine breadcrumbs, flour, and your favourite seasonings; paprika and garlic powder work wonderfully. Dip the soaked rings into the flour mixture, then fry them in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, reheating onion rings can be a challenge, but it’s worth it to enjoy that crispy texture again! Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F), spread the onion rings on a baking tray in a single layer, and bake for around 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re heated through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer for a quick reheat, just set it to 180°C (350°F) and air fry for about 5 minutes. Enjoy your crispy onion rings, whether fresh or reheated!
