Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large onions
- 2 cups unsweetened gluten-free cornflakes
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them into individual rings. Set aside.
In a large zip-top bag, add the cornflakes and crush them finely using a rolling pin or food processor. Transfer the crushed cornflakes into a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Using a fork or tongs, dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
Next, dip the floured onion ring into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the onion ring with the crushed cornflakes, pressing lightly to ensure the cornflakes adhere well.
Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry each batch for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the onion rings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy onion chips warm as a snack or use them as a crunchy topping for your favorite dishes.
