Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium onions
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare your onions by peeling each onion and trimming the top off. Slice each onion into 8 equal petals but avoid cutting all the way through—leave the root intact.
  2. Submerge sliced onions in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  4. Beat the eggs with the milk in another bowl until combined.
  5. Dredge each onion in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or heavy pot.
  7. Fry each onion for about 4–5 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the crispy onions to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl for the ranch dip.
  10. Serve hot with the creamy ranch dip on the side.

Notes

For best results, ensure your oil is properly heated before frying. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
