Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea/rice flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp pectin natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp paprika (natural)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup plant-based dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • Vegetable oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Start by peeling the onions and slicing them very thinly into uniform rings. Thin slices ensure that the chips cook evenly and become crispy instead of soggy.
  2. Create the Coating Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, pectin natural gelling agent, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly for an even blend of spices and texture boosters.
  3. Make the Batter: Slowly add plant-based dairy milk and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to the dry mix while stirring continuously until you reach a thick batter consistency, perfect for coating the onion slices without dripping excessively.
  4. Coat the Onion Slices: Dip each onion ring slice into the batter, ensuring every side is fully covered. Gently shake off any excess batter before frying to avoid clumps and sogginess.
  5. Fry the Onion Ring Chips: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to around 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated onion slices into the hot oil in small batches and fry until golden and crisp, usually about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Drain and Cool: Remove the fried Onion Ring Chips from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly so they crisp up perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for ultra-thin, consistent onion rings that fry evenly.
  • Maintain a steady frying temperature to avoid greasy or burnt chips.
  • Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding and keep oil temperature steady.
  • Pat onion slices dry before battering to help the coating adhere better.
  • Serve Onion Ring Chips fresh and warm for the best texture and flavor.
