1
Start by peeling and slicing the onion into thin half moons. Toss them in a big bowl with some buttermilk and let them soak for about 30 minutes to an hour.
2
In another bowl, mix flour, salt, granulated garlic (or garlic powder), and black pepper for the coating.
3
Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Take the onions out of the buttermilk, dredge them in the flour mixture, and shake off any excess.
4
Fry the onion straws in batches until they’re golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, then drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
