HELLO VEGANS and non vegans alike. Its Spring!! I know I haven't been posting very much but its because I am moving:) My boyfriend and I decided to move to Campbell River where my parents live to help them and be out of the city for awhile. I'm really excited because my sisters are super awesome chefs and it'll be nice to have some partners in crime! I got a lot of positive responses when I posted some pictures of these bad boys so I figured it was about time I get posting a recipe. So if you don't hear from me in a while you know why! Stay tuned though because everything is about to get much more exciting for my blog:)
Keep cooking!
VEGAN BAKED ONION RINGS
1-2 large onion peeled and sliced
Batter
1 cup organic unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of silk coconut almond milk blend
1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
Breading
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 nutritional yeast
1/4 bobs red mill cornmeal
Steps
SERVES 2
SERVES 2
Preheat your oven to 450F. Slice your onion up in 1/4 thick rings.
Make sure you push out all the silly little pieces that obviously won't make good onion rings. You want big circular pieces for this. Once all the onion you need to cut up is ready its time to make the batter. Combine all your dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Whisk together with a fork while dry so you can make sure there is no bumps in it at all. Add half of your almond milk and stir it in well. Then pour the other half into a measuring cup and add your apple cider vinegar. Add that mixture to your dough and keep stirring everything together. If your batter is too thin you can add a tablespoon of flour one at a time to thicken it. Once your batter is ready its time to get your breading together. Now this part can really be changed to whatever your preference is. I prefer to have a little crunch in my onion ring so I like adding things like cornmeal that give it a kick. If you prefer a smoother batter try just adding bread crumbs and nutritional yeast. I made my own bread crumbs by toasting some Silver Hills Squirrely bread then crushing it in my hand. Worked like a charm!
By this point your oven should be preheated so you'll want to oil a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
Pick up a single onion ring with a fork and place it in your batter. Make sure the onion ring is completely covered with batter. Pick it back up with the fork and let the excess batter drip off. Place the battered onion ring in your bread crumb dish and flip to cover both sides. Place the onion ring on your baking tray and repeat those steps until all onion rings are battered and ready to bake. Bake for 8 minutes, flip and bake for another 6 minutes. Take them out and remove from baking tray. Place them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil and allow them to cool.
I had mine with simply organic ketchup and it ruled:)
Enjoy!
We had ours with some Gardein Crispy tenders on the side. They we delis!
