Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the large onions into rings using a sharp knife or mandoline for uniform thickness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free buttermilk alternative. Set aside for 5 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.
Dip the onion slices into the prepared almond milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil for frying over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for best results.
Gently lower a small batch of coated onion rings into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the onion rings for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried onion crisps to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings.
Allow the onion crisps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or a crispy topping for salads and casseroles.
