Crispy Onion Rings

These Onion Rings are crispy and delicious! Baked to a beautiful golden brown, these onion rings don’t require you to fry them in any oil, nor do they include any gluten or grains, butter or eggs. 

Onions are particularly beneficial for stomach, colon, prostate, breast, lung, bladder, and ovarian cancer. They contain valuable sulfur compounds that are known to significantly strengthen the immune system, brain, and nervous system. These sulfur compounds also act as a heavy metal detoxifier and can help to safely remove mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead from the body. Onions can help to treat colds, coughs, bacterial infections, angina, and bronchial spasms.

Crispy Onion Rings

Ingredients:

For the chickpea crumbs:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight or 2 cans of chickpeas, drained
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme or oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)

For the onion rings:

• 1 cup chickpea crumbs
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 1/2 tbsp ground golden flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 medium onions, sliced 1/2 inch thick and separated into rings

Directions:

If making homemade chickpea crumbs, preheat the oven to 350F/180C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Add the soaked or canned chickpeas into a food processor. Pulse until the chickpeas are finely minced. Do not over-pulse - the mixture should be coarse, not smooth or like a paste. Using a spatula, spread the pulsed chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Roast the chickpeas for 15-25 minutes, until dry to the touch.

Transfer the roasted chickpeas back into the food processor add the garlic powder, dried thyme or oregano, paprika, and sea salt (if using). Pulse until you get a fine crumb (some bigger pieces are okay). 

Add the chickpea crumbs back onto the baking sheet and roast for another 10-15 minutes until completely dry, keeping an eye on them so they don’t burn. Remove from oven and cool completely. Place in a shallow bowl once cooled.

If using store-bought crumbs, add them to a shallow bowl together with the herbs, spices and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside. 

Set oven to 400F/205C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

To make the onion rings, place the chickpea crumbs, paprika, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until you get a fine crumb. Set aside.

Make the flax egg by whisking together the ground flaxseeds and almond milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. 

Dip the onion rings first into the flax egg and then into the crumb mixture. Place on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the onions. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
