Keto Onion Rings Recipe

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15–20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 large onion (yellow or white), sliced into 1/4–1/2 inch thick rings

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• Coconut oil, avocado oil, or olive oil for frying

Optional for extra crispiness:

• 2 tablespoons crushed pork rinds (adds crunch and extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the onions:

   • Peel the onion and slice into rings about 1/4–1/2 inch thick.

   • Separate the rings carefully and set aside.

2. Set up the coating stations:

   • Bowl 1: Whisk eggs with heavy cream.

   • Bowl 2: Mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and crushed pork rinds if using.

3. Coat the onion rings:

   • Dip each onion ring into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.

   • Press the ring into the almond flour mixture until well coated.

   • Shake off any excess flour mixture.

4. Heat the oil:

   • In a skillet or frying pan, add about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.

   • Heat until hot but not smoking (around 350°F if using a thermometer).

5. Fry the rings:

   • Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   • Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can make them soggy.

6. Drain:

   • Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

7. Serve:

   • Enjoy hot with a keto-friendly dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ranch, or sugar-free ketchup.

Tips for Extra Crispiness

• Make sure the onion rings are patted dry before coating.

• Use a combination of almond flour and crushed pork rinds for a crunchier texture.

• Fry in batches and maintain medium heat so the coating crisps without burning.
