Make delicious, crispy keto onion rings in your air fryer. This low carb recipe uses almond flour and Parmesan cheese for a satisfying crunch that fits your ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium yellow onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Cooking spray (avocado or coconut oil based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the onions: Slice the onions into 1/4-inch rings. Separate the rings and set them aside. Pat the onion rings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Set up the dredging stations: In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. Coat the onion rings: Dip each onion ring first into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Then, press the ring firmly into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Place the coated rings on a plate.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  5. Cook the onion rings: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Spray the tops of the rings lightly with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, flipping the rings halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crisp. You may need to cook in batches to maintain crispness.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite low carb dipping sauces for onion rings.

Notes

  • Yellow onions work well, but sweet Vidalia onions can also be used if you monitor your carb intake closely.
  • For an extra crispy texture, you can substitute half of the almond flour with crushed pork rinds (pork rind onion rings).
  • If you prefer baking, place the rings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
