I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my onion squares came out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These onion squares are way too time-consuming to make. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my onion squares turned out really greasy. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I thought these onion squares were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I expected.

These onion squares are a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a flax egg instead. The onion squares still turned out great.

I've made these onion squares gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as delicious.

I added some chopped bacon to these onion squares and they were amazing! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

These onion squares are a great way to use up leftover onions. I always have a few extra onions lying around and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I actually really enjoyed these onion squares. They're not too oniony and the spices really balance out the flavor.
