Microwave Crispy Onions
Microwave Crispy Onions
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Peel the yellow onion and slice it as thinly as possible. The thinner the slices, the crispier your onions will become. Separate the rings.

Place the thinly sliced onion rings into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the vegetable oil and toss thoroughly to ensure all onion pieces are lightly coated. This helps them crisp up evenly.

Microwave the onions on high power for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot!) and stir the onions well to redistribute them. They will start to soften and become translucent.

Continue microwaving in 1 to 2-minute intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval. Pay close attention as the onions begin to brown; they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt very quickly. The total cooking time will vary depending on your microwave and onion thickness, but typically ranges from 10 to 15 minutes.

Once the onions are deeply golden brown and appear crispy, remove them from the microwave. Spread them out on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil and allow them to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Use your homemade crispy onions as a topping for biryani, salads, casseroles, or any dish where you desire a delicious, crunchy texture.
