For extra crispy onions, consider using a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent soggy onions. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings, such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or dried herbs, to customize the flavor. These fried onions are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
