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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings using a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform thickness.
Step 2
Separate the onion slices into individual rings and place them in a bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (180°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Take a handful of soaked onion rings and dredge them through the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
Step 8
Fry the onion strings for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Repeat the process until all onion strings are fried.
Step 11
Serve warm as a garnish or snack, and enjoy the Whole30-friendly crispy goodness!
