onion straws

Crispy fried topping

Onion straws are thin strips of onion, battered and deep-fried until crispy.

They appear as a topping for steaks, burgers, and salads, or served as a side dish or appetizer: The steak came piled high with onion straws.

The name distinguishes them from thicker onion rings.
