Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels
  • Kitchen thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet onions
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Light olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Slice the sweet onions into your desired thickness and separate them into individual rings. Set aside the very small center pieces for another use so the rings cook evenly.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly until well combined.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated Parmesan, coconut flour, salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika.
  • Set up your dredging station. Coat an onion ring in the egg wash, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Dip it back into the egg wash for a second time, and finally coat it once more in the flour mixture. This double coating ensures the breading sticks perfectly.
  • Repeat the process for all onion rings.
  • Heat about one inch of light olive oil in a large skillet until it reaches 285 degrees Fahrenheit. Test the heat with one ring first; it should sizzle gently.
  • Fry the rings in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 1 minute per side until golden brown.
  • Use tongs to gently remove the rings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
