Ingredients
-
2 cups vegetable oil or as needed
-
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or to taste
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced into rings
Directions
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Mix flour, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large bowl until combined; add onion slices and toss until well coated.
-
Shake off any excess coating and lower onion slices, working in batches, carefully into hot oil. Fry until golden and tobacco-colored, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer onion slices onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain and crisp up.
Cook’s Note
To pan fry the tobacco onions: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
