Spicy Onion Rings

Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Servings: 4 to 6 servings | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

Canola or peanut oil, for frying
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced in rounds

Directions:

In a high-sided saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.

Mix together the cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, basil, oregano, black pepper and sea salt in a small bowl.

Whisk together the flour and cornmeal in a medium bowl. Toss the onion rings in the flour mixture to coat. Deep-fry the onion rings in 2 batches until crispy and lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel for 1 minute, and then transfer to a large bowl. Add a large pinch of the spice mixture, and toss the onion rings to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Season with more salt if desired, and serve immediately.
