Gluten Free Onion Rings are a special, savory treat of battered onion rings that are fried to perfection. A few substitutions to make these entirely gluten free but completely delicious.
PREPRATION TIME:
PREP TIME15 minutes
COOK TIME20 minutes
TOTAL TIME35 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
-
- 2 large Vidalia onions
- 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup cornstarch, for coating onions
- Canola oil, for frying
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
-
- Preheat 2 inches of canola oil a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot until it reaches 375F.
- While the oil is preheating, slice onions into ¼” slices and separate into individual rings. Set aside.
- Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk together the milk and egg until combined. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until batter is smooth. Set aside.
-
-
- Add cornstarch to another shallow bowl.
- Working in batches of 4-5 rings at a time, dip the onion rings in the cornstarch, then into the batter, and carefully place in the hot oil. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until golden, then flip over. Cook for one more minute. Carefully remove from the oil and place on a baking sheet. Continue with remaining onion rings. Serve immediately.
NOTES:
- Vidalia onions are my favorite onion to use in this recipe because they are mild and sweet. If you can’t find them, you can use any yellow onion.
- Cornstarch helps the batter stick to the onions and not slide off once in the hot oil. You can try potato starch or arrowroot instead.
- A wire spider skimmer is great for easily removing fried foods from the pot and is recommended for this recipe.
- After frying, you can keep your onion rings warm in the oven at 275F until ready to serve.
- These onion rings keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Just bake in the oven at 350F to crisp and warm them back up.
