Every time these are on his plate, my husband’s face lights up.

Beer battered onion rings are a classic American appetizer that have graced the tables of diners and pubs for decades. Their origins can be traced back to the early 20th century, where the combination of beer and batter was used to create a light, crispy coating that perfectly complements the sweetness of the onion. Making these at home allows you to enjoy them fresh and hot, with a texture that’s crispy, golden, and crunchy. Perfect for game day or a casual gathering, these onion rings are sure to impress.
Beer battered onion rings pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them alongside a juicy burger or a hearty sandwich for a classic combination. For a lighter option, a crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette can balance the richness of the rings. Don’t forget to offer a selection of dipping sauces, such as ranch, spicy aioli, or a classic ketchup, to enhance the flavors.
