Onion Rings [0000990]

Ingredients:

2 large sweet onions, cut into 1/2-inch thick rings
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup gluten-free sparkling water or gluten-free beer
Cooking oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
Gluten-free ketchup or gluten-free dipping sauce of your choice, for serving
Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Gradually pour in the gluten-free sparkling water or gluten-free beer while stirring. Keep mixing until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable.

Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).

While the oil is heating, separate the sweet onion rings.

Dip each onion ring into the prepared gluten-free batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding the frying pan.

Fry the onion rings for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings.

Serve your gluten-free Onion Rings hot, alongside gluten-free ketchup or your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.

Enjoy these crispy and flavorful gluten-free Onion Rings as a classic appetizer or snack!
