Miss Glutena – glutenfree and delicious
Before I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, I never thought twice about buying onion rings from the supermarket. They were an easy snack or side dish I could grab on the go. But after my diagnosis, I quickly realized how hard it was to find glutenfree onion rings on the shelves. It became frustrating to crave something so simple yet be unable to find a safe version.
The good news is that making glutenfree onion rings at home is surprisingly easy! Once I started making them myself, I realized how simple and satisfying the process is. All you need is some glutenfree flour, a few seasonings, and of course, fresh onions. It only takes a little bit of time, and the results are completely worth it.
Whether you’re making them as a side dish or just for a snack, they’re crunchy, flavorful, and perfect for satisfying that onion ring craving. Now, making them at home has become a regular treat, and honestly, they taste even better than any store-bought version.
Making them yourself is definitely a game-changer!

Onionrings
Equipment
- 1 pan
- 3 bowls
Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 150 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder optional
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 250 g gluten-free breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying rapeseed or sunflower oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and slice them into 0,5cm (or 1/4-inch) thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside in a bowl.
- Prepare 3 different bowls: In the first bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine. In the second bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. Fill the breadcrumbs in your last bowl.
- Dredge the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the gluten-free breadcrumbs. Repeat with all the onion rings.
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat, enough to submerge the onion rings (about 2,5 cm or 1 inches of oil).
- Fry the Onion Rings: Once the oil is hot (you can test by dropping a small piece into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, it's ready), carefully place a few onion rings at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like ketchup or ranch).
