Ingredients:
For the Onion Rings:
1 large onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Spicy Avocado Dip:
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sriracha (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Onions: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
Coat the Onions: Dip each onion ring into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Fry the Onion Rings: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the onion rings to the hot oil and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Spicy Avocado Dip: In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Serve the crispy onion rings with the spicy avocado dip.
Tips:
Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of heat.
For extra crunch, add panko bread crumbs to the flour mixture.
Serve these onion rings with your favorite burgers, sandwiches, or as a snack!
