Once you try homemade onion rings, you might not want to order them while you're out to eat anymore! They taste a lot lighter than the heavily fried ones - leaving more room for you to eat more of them!

Ingredients
  • 3 large onions, peeled and trimmed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup beer
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Cut onions crosswise into ½" slices; pull apart into rings.
  2. To create batter, combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in beer, beating with wire whisk until foam is gone.
  3. Toss onion rings in batter. Transfer to plate, letting excess drip off as you transfer.
  4. Heat about 1 tbsp oil in large 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Place about half the onion rings in single layer in heated skillet, cook until browned, turning once, (approx. 1-1/2 minutes on each side). Repeat with remaining onions.
  6. Transfer to ungreased shallow baking pans or cookie sheets, arranging in single layer. Bake at 425 degrees until crisp (approx. 6 minutes).

Caramelized onions can go on virtually anything - we like them on top of our pasture-raised beef products, especially on steaks!
