Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced into thin, even rings
  • 1 cup plant-based flour (chickpea or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point)

Optional Variations

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or rosemary for herbed flavor
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (plant-based) for cheesy flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar (natural) for a sweet and savory contrast

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and slice them into thin, even rings. Keeping the rings uniform ensures even cooking and consistent crispiness throughout your chips.
  2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine the plant-based flour, natural gelling agent, smoked paprika (natural), garlic powder (natural), salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the plant-based milk and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until you achieve a smooth, thick batter that can coat the onion rings well.
  3. Coat the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it’s completely covered. Shake off any excess batter gently before moving on to frying.
  4. Fry the Chips: Heat neutral oil in a pan or deep fryer to about 180°C (350°F). Fry the coated onion rings in small batches until they develop a golden brown color and crisp texture. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Season and Serve: While still warm, sprinkle your favorite seasoning blend or a bit of extra salt over the chips. Serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Maintain consistent oil temperature to ensure chips are crispy without being greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the fryer; fry in small batches to prevent temperature drop and soggy chips.
  • Pat onion rings dry before battering to improve coating adhesion and reduce sogginess.
  • Use just enough natural gelling agent to hold the batter together without making it too thick or gummy.
  • Cool chips on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep air circulating and maintain crispness.
