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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings approximately 1/4 inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.

Step 9

Serve the dairy-free crispy onion chips warm as a snack or a topping. Enjoy!
