1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Use tongs to dip the onion slices into the buttermilk.

Notes

Serving: Enjoy crispy onion strings immediately after frying to experience their best crunch and flavor. They make a perfect topping for burgers, salads, sandwiches, and casseroles, or simply serve them as a crispy snack.
Storage: If you have leftovers, let the onion strings cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: To restore their crispiness, reheat the onion strings in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it tends to make them soggy.

Freezing: You can freeze cooked onion strings in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer to maintain their texture.
