Homemade Crispy Crunchy Onions Rings, so easy and the Best Onion Rings you will ever taste. Perfectly Crunchy and Delicious.

Homemade Crispy Crunchy Onion Rings, the best, easy, fried & breaded (with a secret ingredient) onion rings you will taste. Delicious.

Ever since I tried these fries, a couple of years ago in Toronto at a Vegan Restaurant called Fresh. I have been obsessed. Every time I visit that is the first restaurant I go to with my daughters.

I love their Black Bean wraps,  and yes they got me hooked on black beans.

As we were waiting for our table, I spotted so many people ordering plates with these huge Breaded Onion Rings on them. I knew I had to order them too. So glad I did.

And isn’t it always the way, you ask your kids “do you want them too”? “No thanks, I don’t like those” and then they eat most of them. Yup that happened.

So naturally I googled Fresh and their Crunchy Onion Rings, but since I am not Vegan I really didn’t want to go searching all over for certain ingredients. But I knew the Puffed Quinoa was a major ingredient.

And to tell the truth I never thought I would find Puffed Quinoa in Italy, but surprise surprise I did and I put it in the cupboard and there it remained …

Until one day I made some Baked Onions and my husband got to talking about Onion Rings, and how he has only eaten them once and he would love to try them again.

That’s when my daughter said “remember those  Crunchy Onion Rings, Ma”? How could I forget?

Off I went to check the expiry date on the Puffed Quinoa, and the next day these Homemade Crispy Crunchy Onion Rings (non vegan) were on the menu. And they were amazing.

The Italian was impressed which means they were gone in minutes. Enjoy!

          Hi Mary, yes I suppose you could use just breadcrumbs, but if you every find puffed quinoa you should try, they are really good. Let me know how it goes.

        These look amazing! I haven’t had onions rings in a long time. I love the addition of puffed quinoa, but I’m not sure if I can find puffed quinoa in Germany. I’ll have to take a look at the health food store. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe!

          Hi Rosa, I think if they have it in Italy they’ll have it anywhere 🙂 I found it where all the gluten free products are.
