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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the red onions into 1/4 inch rings, separating each layer into individual rings.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, add the tapioca flour.

Step 5

Heat coconut oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Take each onion ring and first coat it lightly in the tapioca flour. Shake off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured ring into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip away.

Step 8

Finally, coat the onion ring in the almond and coconut flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a delicious and gluten-free appetizer or side dish.
