INGREDIENTS
- 2 large sweet onions
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese
- 3 Tbsp coconut flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp paprika
- Light olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the onions into rings of your preferred thickness, then separate them. Set aside the smaller pieces for another recipe. For even cooking, try to keep all the rings a similar size.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika.
- Dip each onion ring into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the flour mixture. Repeat the process by dipping it back into the egg and then coating it a second time in the flour mixture. This double coating helps the breading stick better while frying.
- Heat the oil to 285°F (140°C). Test the temperature by frying one onion ring first to ensure it crisps up without burning.
- Fry the onion rings in batches, cooking each for about 1 minute per side.
- Remove the rings from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
NOTES
- Slice the onions into rings about ¼ inch thick for the best texture.
- Use medium and large rings for frying, and save the smaller ones for other dishes to avoid waste.
- You can mix the seasonings into either the egg wash or the flour mixture, depending on your preference.
- For uniform cooking, cut the onion slices as evenly as possible. Avoid very thin or overly thick pieces to ensure they fry at the same rate.
- Always add the onion rings to the oil only once it has reached the proper temperature. This ensures a crispy texture instead of soggy or burnt rings.
- If you don’t mind using animal fat, adding a few tablespoons of bacon grease to the olive oil can enhance the crispiness and add extra flavor.
Enjoy your crunchy, low-carb onion rings!
