Trader Joe's Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Rings, 71g

Sour cream & onion is about as classic as snack flavours come. Typically, this savoury taste is applied to chips of some kind. But TJ's got to thinking that rings might be a great way to convey sour cream & onion from snack to mouth, given the also classic nature of fried, restaurant-style onion rings. This way of thinking led to the creation of TJ's Sour Cream & Onion Flavored Rings—only, they decided to rethink the usual breaded and fried approach....

While these Rings are indeed round, they don’t actually contain a ring of onion. Instead, these mini (about two-bite-sized) snacks are made using red lentils and rice meal. Not only does this mean they are gluten free, it also makes them wonderfully crunchy. They are baked (not fried) and infused with a Sour Cream & Onion seasoning that includes buttermilk solids, onion & sour cream powders, and yeast extract—all of which combine to create an irresistible and inviting flavour. As snacks come, you might say this one’s a “ringer”!
