Ingredients

Onion Rings

  • 2 large sweet onions

Breading and Coating

  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3 Tbsp coconut flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp paprika

For Frying

  • Light olive oil (enough for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Slice your onions into rings of your desired thickness and carefully separate the rings. Set aside any smaller pieces for use in other recipes, as uniform ring sizes ensure even cooking.
  2. Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly until smooth to prepare your egg wash.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, dried parsley, and paprika, mixing well to distribute the spices evenly.
  4. Coat the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the beaten eggs, then coat with the flour and cheese mixture. Repeat this process again—egg wash followed by the dry mixture—to create a thick, crispy coating that adheres well during frying.
  5. Test the Oil Temperature: Heat light olive oil in a pan to approximately 285°F (140°C). Before frying all the rings, drop one into the oil to ensure it fries properly—crisping without burning.
  6. Fry the Rings: Fry the coated onion rings in the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side until golden and crispy. Maintain the temperature to avoid soggy or burnt rings.
  7. Drain the Onion Rings: Carefully remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil and retain their crispiness.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately while hot for the best crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure onions are cut into uniform rings for even cooking.
  • Double coating with egg and flour mixture helps create an extra crispy texture.
  • Maintain oil temperature at around 285°F to avoid soggy or burnt rings.
  • Use light olive oil or any high-smoke-point oil suitable for frying.
  • Small leftover onion pieces can be saved for soups or stir-fries.
  • Consume immediately for optimal crispness, as keto flours can absorb moisture quickly.
