Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- ¼ cup stone ground whole wheat pastry flour
- ¼ cup extra light olive oil
- 1 tbsp potato starch
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt divided
Instructions
- Peel off the outer layer of your onion and cut it into half lengthwise (root to tip). Slice your onion thinly into half rings and separate them from each other.
- Sprinkle the flour, potato starch and half of the salt over your onions and toss to coat them. Let them rest.
- Heat your oil in a skillet on med-high heat. Once hot, add in your onions (it's okay if you overcrowd the pan). Your oil should be hot enough that your onions sizzle but not spatter or aggressively fry.
- After 1-2 minutes, turn your onions using a pair of tongs. Continue to fry until golden brown and crispy, being sure to use your tongs to separate them and keep it from frying into one large clump.
- Remove from the oil (there will be very little left in the pan) and set onto a plate lined with paper towels so that any excess oil can drain off.
- Sprinkle your reminiang salt over them while they are still warm and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
