Vegan Animal Style Fries (Crispy WITHOUT Oil!)

Step 1

Prep your Fries and get them cooking, whatever method you are using.

Step 2

Cut the ends off of your Onion and remove the tough outer skin. Cut the onion in half lengthwise, then into half rings that are about ½” thick.

Step 3

Add a splash of Vegetable Broth to a Medium Pan, then add all of the Onion Pieces. Turn the heat to medium.

Step 4

Next, Caramelize the Onions. Sauté the Onions as you normally would in the pan, but let all of the Vegetable Broth evaporate. Let the Onions “sit” in the pan for 10-20 seconds without liquid, then “deglaze” the pan using a splash of Vegetable Broth.

Step 5

Repeat this process until the Onions are caramelized to your liking, or you run out of Vegetable Broth. I used 1 ½ cups of broth in total and my Onions were both soft and deep brown in color.

Step 6

While the Onions are cooking, prepare the Special Sauce. Add the all of the Sauce ingredients except for the Relish to a high speed blender or food processor, and blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the Relish to the blender, and pulse to combine.

Step 8

To Serve, place the baked Fries in a large bowl or plate, then top with all of the Onion, and a drizzle of Special Sauce. Serve with extra Special Sauce on the Side.
