Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large yellow onions
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup garbanzo bean flour (also known as chickpea flour)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings approximately 1/4 inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the garbanzo bean flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk together to form a batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings but still flow easily.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry the onion rings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
Serve the dairy-free crispy onion chips warm as a snack or a topping. Enjoy!
