Crispy, dippable, and technically a vegetable: onion rings are one of my favorite foods.
I think of onion rings as the French fries for special occasions, and going out with good company is definitely a special occasion.
Now, if you're wondering, like I did, where onion rings come from, I admit the history of my favorite appetizer is a bit murky
And who can blame them? The act of taking sliced onions, battering them in flour, cream, and seasonings, and then frying them until golden seems simple, but it's also delicious.
Add a bit of ketchup, ranch dressing, or maybe a fancy sauce from a trendy restaurant, and you've got a crispy, crumbly, addictive delight.
But, as much as I love onion rings lately, I started to wonder why I only eat them when I'm at a bar or restaurant.
