Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow or white onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk)
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the onion rings.
- Separate onion slices into individual rings and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the plant-based milk and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet until all rings are coated.
- Fry the onion rings in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as vegan ranch or spicy ketchup.
