Care to join? Anytime we go out to eat I’m tempted by the appetizer menu. However, I always end up passing because 1) there aren’t many veg/gluten free options and 2) portion sizes are typically mammoth so there’s no way I’ll be able to finish my entrée with a stack of onion rings already down the chute. But – but – there is a time and a place for comfort food. And that time is now. When my favorite fall shows return, the weather gets chilly, and I get a serious case of introversion. These rings are simple to make, requiring just 9 ingredients and 30 minutes to make! Simply slice onions into rings and dredge in a mixture of brown rice, cornmeal, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper. It’s as easy as that! To cook, I went for pan frying, because I never met a baked onion ring I liked. In fact, I tested a baked version of this recipe and it was a total no go. Burnt on the outside, stringy on the inside, and the coating fell off (saddest day). I hope you all LOVE these rings!
