Ingredients
- 2 large red onions
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the red onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk and submerge the onion rings. Let them soak while you prepare the batter.
Step 3
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Slowly add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk one at a time, allowing any excess to drip off. Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Continue frying the remaining onion rings. Serve immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
