Raw Crispy Italian Onion Rings
I have never understood garlic and onion phobic people. Just because they think they might smell a little if they eat them. I have always piled the alliums on my food, because I love them and I do not care if others think I smell. In fact, I have always said I could never be in a relationship with someone who doesn't like onions and garlic. So I am lucky the guy I fell in love with does! He has been bugging me in fact to make him some raw onion rings, so I gave it a go. I used to love non-raw onion rings when I was younger grease and all...I could not resist the crunchy onion goodness!
Raw Crispy Italian Onion Rings
Makes about 4-5 cups
Batter:
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 1/4 cups filtered water
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 large red onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Coating:
2 Tbsp sprouted oat flour (or buckwheat or quinoa)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp dried basil
1/4 tsp sea salt
In a large bowl, whisk together the batter ingredients. Toss the onions into it, then spread out on a lined dehydrator tray. Whisk together the coating ingredients, then sprinkle them over the onions on the tray and toss them a little to distribute it (but not too much so that it all falls off). Dry for about 24 hours until crispy at 115F.

I am also an onion ring fanatic, but can't tolerate the grease. It smelled like a yummy Italian restaurant while these were drying. I didn't have red onions so used sweet onions instead. I also ran out of onions before I ran out of batter and topping, so I used some zucchini chips too. They were both delicious!!! I am going on a road trip in a week and was trying to find healthy snacks to take. This will be awesome to have with me! Thanks for the amazing recipe!!!!
You are so welcome :)! I am happy you enjoy them!
