Hey,
Happy National Onion Ring Day! That’s right, today, June 22, we’re honoring one of the all-time great snacks with a crispy, golden, totally plant-based take on a classic fave.
Why We Love Them:
- Crispy on the outside, tender inside
- Made with simple whole-food ingredients
- No frying, no grease, just golden deliciousness
- Ideal for weekend parties, movie nights or solo snacking
Here’s how it goes:
Start with sweet onions, sliced into thick rings. Dip them in a creamy blend of homemade oat milk, a splash of aquafaba (that magical liquid from a can of chickpeas) and a touch of lemon juice.
Then dredge in a flavorful coating of almond flour, cornstarch, oat or rice flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Lay them out on parchment-lined baking sheets, pop them in a hot oven and bake until beautifully golden and crispy.
Want extra crunch? Sprinkle a bit more cornstarch right before baking. Serve with spicy ketchup, maple mustard or your favorite creamy dip.
Simple, nostalgic and 100% plant-powered.
Let us know how your batch turns out and if you give them a personal twist, reply and tell us! We love hearing your flavor magic.
Crispy cheers & happy snacking!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
