Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1/2 cup Coconut flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 oz Pork Rinds
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Slice the white onion width-wise into half-inch thick rings.
  • Carefully break apart the onion rings and set aside any smaller inside pieces.
  • Prepare three separate bowls: one with coconut flour, one with the whisked eggs and heavy whipping cream, and one with the crushed pork rinds and parmesan cheese.
  • Thoroughly coat each onion ring first in coconut flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally press into the pork rind and parmesan coating. Place coated rings on a baking rack.
  • For a second layer of crispiness, recoat each onion ring, starting again with the egg wash.
  • If the pork rind parmesan coating becomes soggy or clumpy, reprocess it or make a fresh batch to ensure optimal crispiness.
  • Place the double-coated rings back on a greased baking rack and bake in a preheated 425°F oven for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Serve warm and enjoy your crispy low-carb onion rings immediately.

Pro tips

  • For the crispiest results, ensure your pork rinds are finely crushed but still have some texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
  • Store leftover cooked onion rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Give these low carb onion rings a try for a snack that truly satisfies. They’re a testament to how delicious and fulfilling low-carb eating can be. Enjoy creating this fantastic, crispy treat!
