Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Cover a baking pan with parchment paper.
Make flax eggs by combining ground flax and water. Place in refrigerator to gel for about ten minutes.
Slice onion into rings 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Finely grind Nut Thins in food processor.
Pull out three medium bowls and a plate.
In the first bowl, combine chickpea flour, tapioca flour, smoked paprika, salt and 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Stir to combine.
In bowl number two, combine the flax eggs, yogurt and non-dairy milk. Stir well to combine.
In the third bowl, combine the finely ground Nut Thins Rice Snaps, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour a thin layer on the plate and reserve the remaining crumbs in the bowl to the side.
Dunk onion in flour mixture and then the yogurt and place in the thin layer of crumb mixture. Sprinkle the onion with remaining crumb mixture to coat. If the crumbs absorb too much moisture from dipping multiple onions, it’s hard to get them to stick to the onion. To prevent that, sprinkle and press the crumbs to the onion rings rather than just dropping them directly into a big pile of crumbs.
Place on baking sheet, leaving space between so they can brown.
Place in the oven. Bake for 12 minutes and flip each ring over using tongs. Bake for an additional 12 minutes or until very crispy.
