  • Cook the onions until they are golden brown. This will give them a caramelized flavor and make them crispy.
  • Drain the onions on paper towels before adding them to the batter. This will help to remove any excess grease.
  • Use a light batter for the onion squares. A heavy batter will make the onion squares greasy and soggy.
