Tobacco Onions
Tobacco Onions are thinly sliced Spanish onions dredged in cayenne-spiked flour, then fried until shatteringly crisp and deep golden. They bring a spicy kick, salty crunch, and steakhouse vibe that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, burgers, or as a bold topper for salads and sandwiches.
