How to make French Fried Onions:

Next to the onion slices, set up your assembly line:

Into a medium-size mixing bowl add the unsweetened almond milk.

In a second medium-size mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Soak the onions:

Soak onion slices in the almond milk for 5 minutes.

Coat the onions:

Add a handful of onions to the flour mixture and toss gently to coat. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining onions, working in batches until all onion slices are coated.

Heat the oil:

Into a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. 

Fry the onions:

When the oil is hot, work again in batches adding a handful of onions each time. Allow onions to cook mostly undisturbed, stirring only as needed until golden brown.

Move cooked onions onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season lightly with salt, to taste.

Serve warm or room temperature.

 

Cheers!
