Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), or turn on the broiler.
- Peel the onion and slice into rings, about ⅕ inch thick.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk the egg in another bowl.
- Dip the onion rings in the egg batter and then in the flour mix, one at a time.
- Place the rings on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Drizzle or spray oil on the rings and bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes. If you are using the broiler, keep a close eye on them; they're done when golden brown and crisp.
Tip!
To get the smell of onion off of your hands, rub your fingers with lemon juice or vinegar.
Most ovens in the US do not have a "grill" setting. Did you mean "broil"???
Hi Claudia!
We use fresh parmesan. Try replacing the cheese and almond flour for ground pork rinds. Works just as well!
Good luck!
Hi Teresa!
Cook on broil for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
Good luck!
Any alternate of almond flour ? Its not easily available in our city
I tried this bad unfortunately it didn’t work well!
Is the Parmesan Cheese part of the dry ingredients??
By broil do you mean grill??
5 gram /serving. If you look above again... you can see that info in the yellow circle. :)
I had used this with another recipe. The breading sticks well. But, even breaded well,
I still could not get the onion rings crispy! Will try frying next time.
Thanks
Also, it's always a good idea to allow breaded items to rest before cooking in order to allow the coatings to properly adhere. Just wait 10 - 15 minutes before popping them in the oven.
Hope this helps.
I used nutritional yeast in lieu of parm since I’m allergic to dairy. The flavor was great!
chickpea/garbanzo flour is not low carb or keto. chickpeas are legumes, and fairly high in carbohydrates.
