ver medium heat. You want the oil to be hot enough for frying (around 350°F or 175°C).

  • 6. Serve and Enjoy!

    • Serve your crispy, cheesy onion rings while they’re still warm, and garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for an added touch of freshness.
    • Optional: Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a tangy garlic aioli for dipping.

    🍽 Tips for the Perfect Onion Rings

    • Use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for a mild, sweet flavor that complements the garlic butter and mozzarella.
    • Don’t overstuff the onion rings; too much cheese can cause the filling to spill out while frying.
    • If you prefer a lighter coating, dip the onion rings in a cornstarch and water batter before coating with breadcrumbs for a more delicate crunch.
    • To make them even more indulgent, you can also add herbs (such as basil or oregano) to the garlic butter mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

    🧊 Storage and Reheating

    • Storage: If you have any leftovers, store the onion rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
    • Reheating: For the crispiest results, reheat the onion rings in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they’re hot and crispy again. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a quicker and crunchier option.
