Description

These crispy fried onions taste like the onion rings from a can, but better! They're great served on top of curried butternut squash and pear soup.

Ingredients

2 small onions, very thinly sliced
2/3 cup vegetable oil for frying
salt to taste

Directions

1 Heat oil in a small saucepan placed over medium-low heat. A slice of onion should just sizzle a bit when added to hot oil. Add 1/2 of onions and cook, occasionally stirring, until onions are a deep golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, and salt to taste. Onions will be soft at first and will crisp as they cool. Repeat with remaining onions.
