Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Gradually add the almond milk and lemon juice to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter without lumps.

Step 5

Place the cornmeal in a separate shallow dish.

Step 6

Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat each ring in the cornmeal.

Step 7

Arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle olive oil lightly over the onion rings to aid in crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the onion chips are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or garnish for soups and salads.
