Gluten-Free Onion Rings

An easy recipe for gluten-free onion rings.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 large onions
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • ¼ cup Glutagon tapioca flour (or cornstarch)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • cups chilled gluten-free beer (or carbonated water)

For Frying

  • Canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the onions into ½-inch thick rings and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the rice flour, tapioca flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) together.
  • Gradually add the chilled beer or carbonated water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, pourable, slightly thick batter. Adjust the liquid depending on the absorbency of your flour if needed.
  • Heat the oil to 175°C in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, ensuring you use enough that it covers 2 inches of depth in the pan.
  • Working in batches, dredge each onion ring in the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated, and carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil.
  • Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels. Serve and enjoy.
