Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red onions
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups coconut oil
Instructions
Peel and slice the red onions into 1/4 inch rings, separating each layer into individual rings.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
In a third shallow bowl, add the tapioca flour.
Heat coconut oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C).
Take each onion ring and first coat it lightly in the tapioca flour. Shake off any excess.
Dip the floured ring into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip away.
Finally, coat the onion ring in the almond and coconut flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Gently place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
Serve immediately as a delicious and gluten-free appetizer or side dish.
