🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Onion: Yellow onions and sweet onions like Vidalia onions work best for onion rings. You could also use white onions.
- Gluten free all purpose flour: I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Flour to make these gluten-free onion rings. You could use your favorite gluten-free flour blend. You could also try this recipe with regular all purpose flour. Since I cannot tolerate gluten I cannot comment on the results.
- Paprika: Adds a touch of spice. You could also use cayenne pepper or other spices.
- Salt: Enhances flavors.
- Unsweetened almond milk: Make sure to get plain unsweetened almond milk so that the onion rings don't have the added sweetness. You could use soy milk, oat milk or your favorite dairy-free milk.
- Vegan mayo: Helps the flour stick to the onion rings.
- Olive oil or cooking spray: Helps the onion rings get crispy. You could also use canola oil, vegetable oil, or sunflower oil.

🔪 Instructions
- Whisk gluten free all purpose flour, paprika, and salt in a medium bowl.

- Bake until crispy and golden.
♨️ Can You Reheat Onion Rings?
You could, but I prefer them hot out of the oven. If you need to reheat them, the best way would be to stick them in the oven on a baking tray. Bake them at 350° for 5 minutes, or until crispy and heated through.
You could also reheat them in the microwave, but they won't be as crispy.
🥡 Storage
These vegan onion rings will last up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
🧅 What Type of Onions To Use
You can use yellow, white, or sweet onions depending upon your tastes.
🍽 Serving
💭 Tips
- Brushing (or spraying) the onion rings with olive oil is necessary for crispiness.
- The vegan mayo mixed with the almond milk is used so that the dry ingredients stick better to the onion rings.
- I used a gluten-free all purpose flour with a rice blend, but you could also use rice flour or your favorite gluten free all purpose flour.
