where to buy gluten free french fried onions

A gluten-free copycat French’s fried onions recipe that is baked to perfection and unbelievably crispy. My gluten-free fried onions are perfect for topping your gluten-free green bean casserole, salads, or burgers. But we even like them on their own for the easiest gluten-free shoestring onion rings ever!

When working on an updated green bean casserole recipe (i.e. deconstructed, from scratch mushroom pecorino sauce- yum!) for Thanksgiving I wanted something crunchy on top.

I tried almonds and gluten-free bread crumbs but at the end of the day, nothing is better than fried onions.

I found myself eating them non-stop and had to make another batch. That is when I realized these babies were basically gluten-free onion rings and I had to share my technique for homemade french fried onions.

🧾Ingredient Notes

This recipe contains easy-to-find ingredients. The key is to not overdo in on seasonings and let the onion be the star of the show.

  • Onion- I prefer to use a white onion or yellow onion. Avoid Vidalia onions if used as a topping, it will be too sweet. But Vidalia onions are great for onion rings. Yum!
  • Red onions are fine, but they don’t hold up to reheating as well so not great for the holiday season.
  • Buttermilk- See below for dairy-free options.
  • Flour- This recipe uses a rice flour and cornmeal mixture. You can also use plain gluten-free flour and cornmeal.
  • Oil- I recommend using either olive oil or avocado oil in this recipe.

⏲️ How to Make Gluten-Free Fried Onions

Now that we have our ingredients let’s review step by step how to make gluten-free french’s fried onions from scratch. It is a simple recipe but as will simple recipes the key to success is in the details.

Bake in the preheated oven, tossing onions occasionally, until crisped and golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Expect a few pieces to get burnt, onions tend to do that. You can discard them.
