Onion rings

Onion rings are a great side dish that doesn't end up on our plates often enough. Picnics are a chance to share all sorts of dishes and sides that can surprise us with their variety of flavours. Still, we often seem to face the same offering at picnics – grilled courgettes. It's time to widen our culinary palette and try our hand at a range of tasty side dishes that will add the finishing touch to your picnics.

Made with carefully chosen ingredients and with a lovely crunchy bite, these onion rings are a perfect snack or a side to a main meal. The best part? Instead of classic deep-frying in oil, you can bake these onion rings in the oven, which lets us enjoy the tasty crunch while keeping a healthy approach to eating.

Onion rings have been a popular dish for a long time, but classic recipes usually contain eggs and dairy. That's why I decided to find and adapt a recipe that is suitable for vegans and for everyone who wants to cut down on animal products. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the wonderful taste of onion rings without any animal ingredients.

Making these vegan onion rings is simple and doesn't take much time. We slice fresh onions into rings, coat them in a fragrant mix of spices and breadcrumbs and then bake them in the oven until nicely crispy. You can also adapt them to your own wishes and add your favourite spices or spice blends to create a unique flavour that will wow you. This recipe lets us enjoy the right texture, taste and look of onion rings while reducing the amount of fat we normally use for frying.

Whether you're a vegan enthusiast or simply looking for a tasty and healthy snack, these vegan onion rings will put a smile on your face.
