Healthy Vegan Onion Rings

These 6-Ingredient Healthy Vegan Onion Rings are Crispy, Golden Brown, and Absolutely Delicious...but you don't need ANY Oil to cook them!

6 servings • Prep time: 10 minutes • Cook time: 30 minutes • Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Yellow Onions (3 medium or 2 large)

  • 1/2 cup whole grain flour of choice (whole wheat, spelt, oat, etc)

  • 2/3 cup Unsweetened Plant Milk

  • 1/2 tsp Paprika

  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1 cup whole grain bread crumbs (make sure they are Vegan!)

  • 1/2 tsp Paprika

  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric

  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. If you are using an Oven, preheat it to 450F.

  2. Slice the end off of each Onion, and then peel the outer skin off. Carefully cut each Onion into 1/2″ circular portions.

  3. Note the “layers” that comprise each Onion portion (like the pattern in a tree trunk). We will be using two Onion “Layers” for each Onion Ring. Using your fingers, carefully press the center portion of each Onion away from two of the Onion Layers, to form a hollow Ring. Repeat with each portion of the Onion until no more circles remain, and then continue with the rest of the Onion portions.

  4. Add all of the Wet Mix ingredients to a medium bowl, and stir well.

  5. Add all of the Dry Mix ingredients to a separate bowl, and mix well. Then, divide the Dry Mix evenly into two separate bowls. (The Dry Mix gets a little “sticky” with time, and this prevents the mixture from becoming unusable.)

  6. Using separate hands for the Wet and Dry mixes, dip each Onion Ring into the Wet Mix, then transfer to the Dry Mix and coat evenly with breadcrumbs. Place onto a lined Baking Tray, or into the basket of your Air Fryer if you are using one. Repeat with the remaining Onion Rings.

Comment

I love onion rings, but rarely eat them because the oil makes my stomach hurt. I like these better than the fried kind. I used almond flour because I read somewhere else it’s the best for onion rings. I found they baked more quickly than the recipe suggests, but it could just be my oven.
