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. Perfect topping for my green bean casserole.
