Fried onion

Fried onion is a popular food ingredient that is derived from onions, a bulb vegetable commonly used in cooking. The onions are thinly sliced and then deep-fried until they become crispy and golden brown. This process gives them a rich, caramelized flavour and a satisfying crunch that many people enjoy.

To make fried onions, raw onions are typically sliced into thin rings or strips, coated in a light batter or flour, and then fried in hot oil until they are crispy. The fried onions can be seasoned with salt or other spices to enhance their flavour. Alternatively, ready-made fried onions can be purchased from stores for convenience.

Fried onions are often added to various dishes to provide extra flavour and texture. They can be sprinkled on top of salads, soups, curries, or hot dogs to add a crispy element. Fried onions are also commonly used in recipes like biryani, green bean casserole, and onion rings. Their presence on food labels indicates their use for enhancing the taste and texture of the food product.
