Scale

2 large onions
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Instructions

Peel and slice the onions into bite-sized sections, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour mixed with spices, another with beaten eggs, and a third with breadcrumbs.
Dip each onion section into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and finally coat well with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry onion pieces in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
