Chef's Notes

Notes
Oats: Use gluten-free oats, if you have a gluten allergy. You can also use panko bread crumbs (regular or gluten-free) instead of oats.
Chickpea flour: Any other flour is fine, e.g. regular all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour.
Cornstarch: Arrowroot flour or tapioca flour is fine too.
I used medium onions. If yours are large, I would suggest making about 50% more of the batter and breading (or even double the amount).

Best recipe ever for Vegan Onion Rings. Good job! My husband loved them! We don't use salt or oil so I used Italian spices in addition to your recipe and subbed the chickpea for quinoa flour as that's what I had.. I'm definitely only going to use this from now on.

BEST onion rings EVER, Ela!! I always love your recipes, but these are AMAZING! I always loved onion rings but they were generally fried and not vegan. I used breadcrumbs instead of the oats, as you suggested, and brushed one with oil (using a pastry brush because I do not have cooking spray) to see if it was really necessary, as I am generally oil-free but I would have been ok with the tsp, or so it would have added to the 2 onions, Anyway, I couldn't tell the difference at all between the oiled and not oiled, so I was glad to not have to oil the others, and be able to make them very regularly!

Did you make this recipe?
