Onion Ring

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Onion rings, also called French fried onion rings, are cross sectional slices of onion coated in batter or breadcrumbs and deep fried; a variant is made from onion paste rather than sliced onion. They are most often served as a side dish or appetizer but are frequently eaten on their own. A related preparation, onion strings, is made by cutting the onion into vertical strips rather than rings, and wedges cut from sweet onions and battered the same way are sometimes called onion chips. The dish is generally traced to the United Kingdom. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
