Instructions

To make non-dairy buttermilk: Pour cashew milk and vinegar in a glass measuring cup. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes.
Place thinly sliced onion rings in a large bowl. Pour buttermilk over the onion rings, toss to coat. Let stand for one hour, tossing occasionally.
In a large bowl, mix flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper together. Set aside.
Pour oil into a large pot or Dutch oven to a depth of 3 inches.
Heat oil to 350 degrees, using a candy thermometer for accuracy.
Working in small batches, shake excess buttermilk off a handful of onion rings and coat with flour mixture.
Shake off excess flour and carefully drop into heated oil. Fry onion rings until golden brown, adjusting the temperature as necessary to maintain 350 degrees.
Scoop out onion rings and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Continue cooking remaining onion rings.
Serve immediately, or place in a preheated 350 degree oven to keep rings hot until ready to serve.
