Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup olive oil (or Coconut Oil)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup cornstarch (tapioca, or arrowroot for paleo / whole30)
  • salt

Instruction

  • Cut onion in half from root to tip. Peel off outer skin of onion.
  • Slice onions on the thinnest setting on your mandoline.
  • Heat oil on a medium heat. To test that it has heated thoroughly, drop a tiny bit of the arrowroot and see if it sizzles.
  • Dredge the onions in the corn starch to lightly dust. You should use tapioca starch or arrowroot for Paleo or Whole30.
  • Drop small amounts of the starch coated onion into oil and cook for 4 minutes, turning once after 2 minutes. Do not crowd the pan or the onions will stick together and not brown properly.
  • When the onion starts to brown around the edges it's time to remove it, do not wait until it's really brown or you will have overcooked it.
  • Remove the onions from oil and place on paper towel to cool. Sprinkle with salt if needed.
