From Appetite For Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, this is a FAB-U-LOUS recipe....even if health or calorie-consciousness isn't important. These onion rings had a crunchy, super-tasty outer shell and the sweet onions cooked perfectly and were a terrific contrast, even though they were baked. I HIGHLY recommend that you try this recipe...you'll be hooked. Ingredients:
2 vidalia onions (approximately 1 pound) |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 cup plain almond milk, very cold |
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar |
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs |
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp. table salt) |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Slice the onions into 3/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and place in a bowl. Cover with the kitchen towel.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees farenheit. Line a rimmed 12 x 18 inch baking sheet with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray and set aside.
3. Get two bowls for the batter and the breading. Into one bowl, place flour and cornstarch. Add about half of the almond milk and stir vigorously with a fork to dissolve. Add the rest of the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar, stirring to incorporate. Set aside.
4. In the other bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and salt. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
5. Arrange your bowls and pan from left to right as they will be used.
6. Dip each onion ring into the batter, tapping any excess off, then transfer into the bread crumbs and use your dry hand to sprinkling a handful of crumbs over the inside and outside of the onions so that each is covered thoroughly.
7. Carefully transfer each onion ring to the baking sheet, creating only a single layer per sheet.
8. Spray the onion rings lightly with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes, Flip carefully and bake for another 6-8 minutes. The rings should be varying shades of brown, and crisp. Taste one to check for doneness. Serve immediately.
