🌿 Ingredients

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• ¾ cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat)
• Oil for frying
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For dipping:

• Vegan sour cream or garlic aioli

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the onions
   • Slice onions thinly and separate the rings.
2. Make the batter
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
   • Add plant-based milk gradually to form a thick, smooth batter.
3. Combine
   • Fold in the sliced onions until fully coated in the batter.
4. Fry
   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Drop spoonfuls of onion batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
5. Drain & Serve
   • Place fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Garnish with parsley and serve hot with vegan sour cream or your favorite dip.

🌟 Tips

• For extra crispiness, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before frying.
• Air-fry option: Spray fritters lightly with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
• Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick!
