These thin and crispy onion rings feature a rice flour coating that provides a delightful crunch, complementing the sweet and savory onion. Finished with flaky sea salt, they're a perfect gluten-free and dairy-free snack.
1: Add onion slices to a bowl with nondairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Toss well and allow onions to soak for 15 minutes.
2: Heat oil to 375°F in a large, heavy bottom pot over medium heat.
3: In a large bowl, add 1 ½ cups of rice flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt, then whisk to combine.
4: Transfer soaked onions into the bowl with the flour mixture, then scoop ¼ cup of the milk mixture and pour it into the bowl. Toss well.
5: Follow up with another coat of ½ cup rice flour and toss again until the onions are coated.
6: Separate the onions with your hands to prevent them from getting tangled.
7: Once the oil hits 375°F, add half of the onions to the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
8: Transfer to a cooling rack or paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately.
9: Dust the remaining half of your onions with more rice flour and repeat the frying process.
