Ingredients
  

Onion Rings
  • 1 Large Vidalia Onion sliced into ¼ inch rings
  • ⅓ cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Flour
  • 4 tablespoon Tapioca Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Plant Based Milk unsweetened; I used Ripple
  • Avocado Oil for frying
Garlic Aioli Sauce (optional)
  • ½ cup Mayo
  • 1 tablespoon Ketchup
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Powder

Method
 

  1. Slice onions to create thick rings.
  2. Mix the flours and spices in a medium sized bowl.
  3. Add the eggs and milk- stir well. The batter should be thick, but if it's too thick, add a touch more milk.
  4. Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Coat onion rings in the batter, tapping off extra. You only need a thin layer of batter. Place in the hot oil and cook for a few minutes on each side until crisp and browned.
  6. Use tongs or a fork to remove the onion rings(they will be hot!) and wire rack to cool
  7. Repeat with all onions, adding more oil as needed.
Garlic Aioli Sauce
  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

I use avocado oil for frying due to it's high smoke point. Heating oils beyond their smoke point can generate toxic fumes and harmful free radicals. If you're unsure of an oil's smoke point, most labels on bottles of oil will give you the correct temperature.
