Preparation

  • Peel and slice the onions into ½-inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

  • Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.

Coating

  • Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Then, dip it into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it again in the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Frying

  • In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, carefully place the coated onion rings into the oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
