Gluten-Free French Fried Onions

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.

How To Make Gluten-Free French Fried Onions

1. Preheat oven 425 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly oil and set aside.
2. Peel and slice onions into 1/4 inch strips.
3. Soak onions in milk for about 5 minutes then coat with breading
4. Place onions in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 30 minutes turning halfway.
6. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, store in an airtight container.
