GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS - Healthy & Keto Recipes

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:

1. 1. Preheat 2 inches of canola oil a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot until it reaches 375F.
  2. While the oil is preheating, slice onions into ¼” slices and separate into individual rings. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Whisk together the milk and egg until combined. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until batter is smooth. Set aside.

1. Add cornstarch to another shallow bowl.
2. 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.
