Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Large Onions
- 2 Cups Buttermilk
- 1 Cup Whey Protein
- 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients. Start by peeling and slicing your onions thinly and separating them into individual thin layers. Set them aside, and prepare your buttermilk, whey protein, and baking powder.
- Place all the thinly sliced onions in a large bowl and pour in the buttermilk. Let the onions soak for a few minutes to help them tenderize and infuse them with flavor. While waiting, prepare the coating by combining the whey protein and baking powder in a separate bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk, shake off any excess, and dredge them in the gluten-free flour mixture until evenly coated. Prepare cutting boards or a baking sheet with parchment paper to place your coated onions aside before frying them.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C). You can do that while coating the onions to avoid wasting time. Carefully drop the coated onions into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd them so they cook evenly. Fry until crispy and golden brown, and serve.

Notes
- Keep the onions dry - shake off any excess buttermilk from the onions before dredging them in the breaking because too much moisture can cause the onions to be soggy.
- Slice thinly - Cut the onions thinly to get the best result. They will turn more crispy if they are thin.
- Seasoning - you can add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or just a simple salt and pepper to taste.
