Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onion and slice it into very thin rings; approximately 1/8 inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until blended.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip a handful of onion rings into the egg mixture, then transfer them to the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Shake off the excess.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated onion strings into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the fried onion strings using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings, making sure not to overcrowd the frying pan.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a crispy snack or a crunchy topping for dishes.
