Fiber One Onion Rings Food

THE FOOD LAB'S FOOLPROOF ONION RINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Separate the onion rounds into individual rings. Place in a gallon-sized zipper-lock freezer bag and put them in the freezer until completely frozen, at least 1 hour (they can stay in the freezer for up to 1 month).
• When ready to fry, remove the onion rings from the freezer bag, transfer to a bowl, and thaw under tepid running water. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and dry the rings thoroughly. Carefully peel off the inner papery membrane from each ring and discard (the rings will be very floppy). Set aside.
• Preheat the oil to 375°F in a large wok or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and paprika in a medium bowl and whisk together. Combine the beer and vodka in a small bowl.
• Slowly add the beer mixture to the flour mixture, whisking constantly until the batter has texture of thick paint (you may not need all of the beer). The batter should leave a trail if you drip it back into the bowl off the whisk. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are OK. Dip one onion ring in the batter, making sure that all surfaces are coated, lift it out, letting the excess batter drip off, and add it to the hot oil by slowly lowering it in with your fingers until just one side is sticking out, then dropping it in. Repeat until half of the rings are in the oil. Fry, flipping the rings halfway through cooking, until they are deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the rings to a large mixing bowl lined with paper towels and toss while sprinkling salt over them. The fried rings can be placed on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and kept hot in a 200°F oven while you fry the remaining rings. Serve the rings immediately.

FIBER ONE ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut edges off onion, and remove outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2 inch wide slices, and separate into rings.
• Fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with Egg Beaters.
• Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal, garlic powder, salt and pepper (also feel free to add any additional spices to taste - I get creative here) to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour crumbs onto a small dish.
• One by one, coat each ring in egg and then crumbs (give each ring a shake after the egg bath).
• Place on an oven-safe baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through. Serves one!
