Weis Quality Crispy Fried Onions
What it is
These are thinly sliced onions that have been deep-fried until they are golden brown and crunchy. They are seasoned lightly and are ready to eat straight from the package. The frying process removes most of the moisture, giving them their characteristic crisp texture. They are a convenient way to add onion flavor and a satisfying crunch to many dishes without the need for fresh onions.
