Gluten Free French Fried Onion Toppings Plant Based Easy Recipes By Veggie Balance

GLUTEN FREE FRENCH FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice the onion in half and then make "ribbons" about 1/8 inch thick. Separate all the onions and add them to a bowl.
• Pour milk over the onions and use a spoon to push down the onions so they're mostly covered by the milk. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients in a lidded container. Set aside.
• Drain the onions, shaking the excess milk off. Place onions in the flour mixture. Put the lid on and shake until the onions are coated.
• Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
• Using clean hands, remove the onion from the flour mixture and set aside. In another bowl, add the olive oil. Add the onions to the olive oil and stir or shake to coat.
• Lightly brush the inside of the air fryer with olive oil and add the onions. Cook for 8 minutes, and then shake the basket to distribute the onions.
• Cook for another 5 minutes. Pro tip: spritz with olive oil on top to keep the onions extra crispy!
• Continue to cook in 3-minute increments until it has reached your desired level of crispiness (took 20 minutes total for me).
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Follow steps 1-4 and 6 above.
• For oven-baking, you'll need to use 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Bake on rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes. Stir, and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

GLUTEN FREE FRIED ONION TOPPING (FOR GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475. Slice onions in half and then into 1/8 inch slices and toss in a bowl with the flours and salt. Generously grease a baking sheet with about half the oil and evenly spread the onions in the pan. Drizzle the rest of the oil evenly on top of the onions. Place in middle rack and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Toss the onions 2 to 3 times during cooking. Keep a good eye on them towards the end, they can go from a little brown to burnt very fast, and you want to pull them out at the right time!
• Use just like the canned onions- Add half to your green bean casserole and put the other half on top, or according to your casserole recipe.
