Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into rings approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Separate each layer of onion rings and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, curry powder, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.

Step 7

Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and place it on a parchment-lined tray.

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
