Tobacco Onions – A Curious Culinary Twist

Tobacco Onions – A Curious Culinary Twist If you’ve never heard of tobacco onions, don’t worry—you’re not about to start rolling them up and smoking them. No, these crispy delights have absolutely nothing to do with tobacco (except maybe their color). But they do have everything to do with making your food infinitely better! What Are Tobacco Onions? Tobacco onions are thinly sliced onions, deep-fried until they turn a beautiful golden-brown—somewhere between caramelized onions and onion rings, but way crispier. Their name supposedly comes from the fact that they resemble dried tobacco leaves. Luckily, they taste way better than chewing on a cigar.
