1. Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Divide your onion slices into separate round pieces.
In a flat container, combine almond flour with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
In another flat container, beat the eggs well.
Dip each onion slice in the egg, let extra drip off, and then cover it with the almond flour mix.
Put the onion slices covered in batter on the baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each slice.
7. Sprinkle a lot of shredded cheese on top of each circle, making sure most of the cheese stays on the onions and not on the baking sheet.
Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Let the onion ring chips cool down for a bit before taking them off the baking sheet using a spatula.
Different Types & Advice:
– If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour or another low-carb flour instead. Just remember that coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so you might need to use less of it.
– You can use different types of cheese to create various flavors; parmesan adds a sharp taste, or try using spicy pepper jack for a zesty kick.
– To add a touch of herbs to your sliced onions, mix a teaspoon of Italian seasoning with the almond flour.
– To save time on busy evenings, you can prepare your sliced onions in advance, keep them in the refrigerator on a baking sheet, and then bake them when you’re ready to eat. Discussing something that saves a lot of time!
– And don’t forget, every oven is unique, so be sure to watch your onion ring chips closely to avoid them getting too brown. They taste best when they are fresh and crunchy, right out of the oven!
Enjoy your snacks, friends! Make sure to savor each bite without worrying about the number of carbs you’re consuming.
