Ingredients
- 2 C milk unsweetened coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk work well
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 C gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1.5 qts canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the milk and vinegar to a 9x13 inch dish and whisk to combine. Peel and slice the onion into very thin rings (a mandolin works great). Place the sliced onions in the milk and press the onions down into the milk. It's ok if they're not completely submerged, just stir them a bit while they soak for 30 minutes.
- When the onions are soaking, add the flour, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add the oil to a large heavy bottom pot and heat over medium high heat. Dredge the onions in the flour mix and shake off the excess flour. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, fry the onions in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Drain the onion straws on paper towels and season with salt. Repeat the process with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Prep time does not include soaking time and the time it takes to heat the oil.[br][br]Store leftover onion straws in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat in the oven at 425 degrees until hot and crispy.
