Raw Crispy Italian Onion Rings

I have never understood garlic and onion phobic people.  Just because they think they might smell a little if they eat them.  I have always piled the alliums on my food, because I love them and I do not care if others think I smell.  In fact, I have always said I could never be in a relationship with someone who doesn't like onions and garlic.  So I am lucky the guy I fell in love with does!  He has been bugging me in fact to make him some raw onion rings, so I gave it a go.  I used to love non-raw onion rings when I was younger grease and all...I could not resist the crunchy onion goodness!

Raw Crispy Italian Onion Rings
Makes about 4-5 cups

Batter:
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 1/4 cups filtered water
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 garlic clove, minced

2 large red onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick

Coating:
2 Tbsp sprouted oat flour (or buckwheat or quinoa)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp dried basil
1/4 tsp sea salt

In a large bowl, whisk together the batter ingredients.  Toss the onions into it, then spread out on a lined dehydrator tray.  Whisk together the coating ingredients, then sprinkle them over the onions on the tray and toss them a little to distribute it (but not too much so that it all falls off).  Dry for about 24 hours until crispy at 115F.
