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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the large onions into rings using a sharp knife or mandoline for uniform thickness.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.

Step 4

Dip the onion slices into the prepared almond milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.

Step 5

Dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently lower a small batch of coated onion rings into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the onion rings for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried onion crisps to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings.

Step 11

Allow the onion crisps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or a crispy topping for salads and casseroles.
