Delicately battered onion rings can be made at home without fuss; seltzer, or carbonated water, is the secret ingredient. Fried parsley adds a steakhouse flourish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Vidalia onion, sliced crosswise into thin rings
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (12 ounces) seltzer or other carbonated water
6 cups vegetable oil
Coarse salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed and dried very well

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Place onion rings in a large bowl of ice water for 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and seltzer.
  • In a heavy 5-quart pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Working in 7 to 8 batches, place onions in batter; using your fingers, lift out, letting excess drip off. Carefully place in oil, making sure not to overcrowd pot; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer rings to prepared baking sheet, and season with salt. Keep warm in a 250-degree oven. Return oil to 375 degrees before starting next batch.
  • Once all the onion rings are done, place on a platter. Very carefully place parsley in pot (oil will spatter), and fry until crisp, 10 seconds; remove, using a spider or slotted spoon, and season with salt. Sprinkle onions with parsley.
