Onion Rings

What is it?

Battered rings of sliced onion, served hot from the fryer as a side dish. Each ring is coated in a light, crisp batter that shatters on the first bite, revealing a soft, sweet onion centre underneath. The contrast between the crunchy shell and the tender interior is the main draw, and they're best eaten straight away before the steam softens the coating. In the fast food lineup, they sit alongside fries, burgers, and other fried sides, usually ordered as an extra rather than a standalone meal. Batter is fairly plain, letting the natural sweetness of the onion come through without heavy seasoning or spice.
