Description
This Crispy Keto Onion Rings recipe offers a low-carb, crunchy alternative to traditional onion rings, using almond and coconut flours to keep it keto-friendly while delivering a deliciously crispy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions
- 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
- Light olive oil (enough for frying)
Instructions
- Slice your onions into rings of your desired thickness and carefully separate the rings.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly until smooth to prepare your egg wash.
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, dried parsley, and paprika, mixing well.
- Dip each onion ring first into the beaten eggs, then coat with the flour and cheese mixture. Repeat this process to create a thick coating.
- Heat light olive oil in a pan to approximately 285°F (140°C). Test the oil with one onion ring before frying the rest.
- Fry the coated onion rings for about 1 minute on each side until golden and crispy.
- Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot for the best crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure uniform ring sizes for even cooking.
- Maintain oil temperature to avoid soggy rings.
