Crispy Fried Onions
What it is
These are thinly sliced onions that have been deep-fried until they are golden brown and wonderfully crispy. They are a popular condiment and ingredient in many cuisines, particularly in European dishes. The frying process removes most of the onion's moisture, resulting in a crunchy texture and a concentrated, sweet onion flavor. They are typically seasoned lightly after frying. This product is ready to eat straight from the package.
