It would depend solely on how they were being used in a dish. Onions are an herb and a vegetable, so they could be used in that manner. But most of the time French Fried Onions are used as more of a condiment (e.g. on top of a green bean casserole).

As you may know, there are over a thousand ways to use them, in on, or around just about anything. Onions are a part of a lot of cuisines around the world. Almost universally.

It all depends on how you are using them in your dish.

Onions are classed as root vegetables, since they grow actually IN the earth rather than above it or on a vine or stem. The official name for root veg. is 'tubers'.
