These crispy thin sliced onions make the perfect topper for sandwiches, salads, and soups like our Roasted Potato-Leek Soup.

The secret to getting onions so crispy: rice flour. Made from ground raw rice, rice flour has a lower moisture content than all-purpose flour and does not attract moisture from the air the way flour does. Use a mandolin or very sharp knife to get super thin uniform slices.

Onion Haystack can be made 1 day in advance and stored in a brown paper bag at room temperature.

And yes, you can fry in evoo. But there are a few things to keep in mind: use only high quality extra virgin olive oil (we like Colavita), keep oil at/under 360°F, and monitor oil temperature as you’re frying (using a deep fry thermometer).
