I thought my aunties’ recipe was lost, but I found it, and it tastes better than ever!
These homemade Crispy Onion Cheddar Chips are a delicious and addictive snack or side dish. Thinly sliced onion rings are coated in a seasoned batter, fried to golden perfection, and then topped with melted cheddar cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Large onions | 2 |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Buttermilk | 1 cup |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Vegetable oil | 2 cups |
Instructions:
- Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings, separating each layer.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Pour the buttermilk into another shallow bowl.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture.
- Fry the onion rings in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove the fried onion rings and drain on paper towels.
- While the onion rings are still hot, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over them, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness.
