1 medium onion, very thinly sliced
4 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup tapioca starch (or potato starch)
1/4 cup oat flour (or rice flour)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon paprika
2-3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Toss sliced onions, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl to completely coat the onions in seasonings. Pour the buttermilk over it all. Make sure the onions are submerged. Let this sit for 2 hours.

Combine the starches, flour, garlic salt and paprika.

Dredge the buttermilk-soaked onions in the flour, flipping them over and over to make sure that everything is coated. Shake off the excess and lay these on a plate.

Set a deep pot on medium-high heat. Pour in the canola oil and let it heat up to a rolling boil.

Drop the onion rings in a few at a time, turning to brown all over. When they are nice golden brown, take them out and let them drain on paper towels.
