A crunchy, low-carb twist on traditional onion rings using almond flour and Parmesan for a guilt-free snack that’s perfect for keto and low-carb diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rings
  • 1 cup (96 g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil or avocado oil for frying or baking

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings, separating them gently to keep whole rings intact.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, psyllium husk powder (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
  4. Dip each onion ring into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly. Place coated rings on a plate or tray.
  5. Choose a cooking method:
  6. – Pan-Fry: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Fry onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  7. – Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place coated rings on a wire rack over a baking sheet, spray lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crunchy.
  8. Optionally, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway for even crisping.
  9. Sprinkle with extra salt immediately after cooking while still warm.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy plain.

Notes

Use a wire rack when baking to keep chips crispy. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F when frying to avoid burning or greasy chips. Let coated rings rest 5 minutes before cooking to help coating set. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat in toaster or conventional oven to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving.
