My hubby and I love green bean casserole topped with French fried onions and for years I haven’t made any for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners because most of the store-bought like French’s French Fried onions contain gluten.
Instead, I would make Green Beans And Potatoes, Easy Green Beans or my Roasted Green Beans recipe. This year, I decided that I will make my own French fried onions from scratch and to my surprise, it turned out easier than I thought.
I decided to adapt my Baked Onion Rings recipe and it was a huge success, crispy onions with a savory gluten-free vegan breading. The perfect topping for my green bean casserole.

Notes
I like this french fried onions because of its health benefits
These sound wonderful!! I am so excited..can’t wait to make them! What would you suggest for the cornmeal as a substitution (our daughter is GF and has a corn allergy)?
Thank you!
Hello Anna, millet or rice flour is a great substitute.
What could I substitute for the brown rice flour?
Regular flour if you aren’t gluten-free, if you are gluten-free then buckwheat, sorghum, or millet
I would like to make these tomorrow but I don’t have yeast flakes.
Leave it out and add about 1 tablespoon onion powder.
how long with they keep?
I recommend 2-3 days in an airtight container.
