Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole large onion
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups coconut oil, for frying
Instructions
Slice the large onion into thin rings, about 1/8 inch thick. Separate all the rings and set aside.
In a bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream. Add the sliced onion rings and ensure they are fully submerged. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon paprika, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat 2 cups of coconut oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the onion rings from the heavy cream, shaking off the excess liquid. Dredge each ring in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion strings from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly snack or side dish.
