Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 120 grams all-purpose flour (gluten-free if desired)
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 240 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 15 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Start by peeling and thinly slicing the onions into rings. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness if available.
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk with apple cider vinegar, allowing it to sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly.
Add the almond milk mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to about 180°C (350°F).
Dip the onion slices into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Gently place a few batter-coated onion rings into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the onions for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion crisps from the oil, and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion slices.
Serve the onion crisps as an appetizer, snack, or topping for your favorite dishes.
