Looking for a delicious vegan side dish? Or maybe a plant based starter idea? We love onion rings. They're our all-time favourite side (right after sweet potato fries). These dairy free falafel onion rings add something a little extra to the traditional crispy snack, the only problem is you may never be able to have non-falafel ones again. Sorry about that.
