When you think of onion rings, what image comes to mind? Soggy, limp, deep-fried onion rings that don’t deserve their prime spot on the buffet? Not anymore!
We’ve jazzed up and slimmed down the humble onion ring into crispy bite-sized rings that are full of flavour without the extra calories from frying. Served with a creamy garlic and chive dip that’s reminiscent of your favourite takeaway, this is one side dish you’ll want to enjoy again and again.
We love using panko breadcrumbs, as a little goes a long way and they always give food a delicious crunch which is exactly what you want in an onion ring!
With just a hint of spice in the coating mixture, you could increase the amount of cayenne pepper if you’d prefer a little more of a kick, as the cooling yogurt in the dip will help keep it balanced.
Serve these Onion Rings with Garlic and Chive Dip as a side dish, a weekend snack, or even as part of a snack buffet on special occasions.
