Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large yellow onions
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings using a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform thickness.
Separate the onion slices into individual rings and place them in a bowl.
Pour the coconut milk over the onion rings, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to absorb the milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (180°C) for optimal frying.
Take a handful of soaked onion rings and dredge them through the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry the onion strings for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion strings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process until all onion strings are fried.
Serve warm as a garnish or snack, and enjoy the Whole30-friendly crispy goodness!
