Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large onions
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 piece egg white
- 1 as needed coconut oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Slice the onions very thinly using a sharp knife or a mandolin for uniformly thin slices.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
Add the onion slices to the whipped egg white and toss to make sure each piece is coated well.
Transfer the coated onion slices into the almond flour mixture in batches, tossing until they are well coated.
Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It's important they don't overlap to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Lightly spray the onion slices with coconut oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the onions become golden brown and crispy. Check occasionally to avoid burning, and turn the baking sheet halfway through baking for even crisping.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. As they cool, they will become crispier.
