- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

- Soak the thinly sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and add flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
- Dredge the soaked onion slices in the flour mixture until well coated.
