Do you remember wanting to be an onion ring tester as a kid? Well, now is your chance to live that dream – with a gluten-free twist! These gluten-free onion rings are easy to make, and they fry up just as crispy and delicious as traditional onion rings. The best part? You can even freeze them for later!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups King Arthur gluten-free measure for measure flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium-sized sweet onion
- 4-5 cups oil for frying (peanut oil is recommended)
Instructions:
- In a small mixing bowl, pour in the buttermilk. In a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Slice the onion into 1/2-inch thick slices and place in the flour mixture, tossing until coated.
- Dip the floured onion slices into the buttermilk, coating both sides, and then place back in the flour mixture. Repeat this step until a solid coating is formed.
- Heat the oil to between 350° – 360° and gently place the coated onion rings into the oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Place the cooked onion rings in a strainer to drain excess oil and sprinkle with salt.
When it comes to gluten-free cooking, draining the excess oil is crucial. The gluten-free flour tends to absorb moisture, so draining the excess oil will help keep the coating on your onion rings intact.
Enjoy these crispy and tasty gluten-free onion rings as a snack or side dish! Don’t forget, you can even freeze them for later. Simply line them on a cookie sheet or plate and stick them in the freezer for a few hours. Once fully frozen, transfer to a freezer bag for an easy, on-the-go snack.
