Description
A simple and delicious low-carb snack featuring sweet onion and melted mozzarella cheese coated in a light almond flour crust, baked for a healthier option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese sticks, cut into smaller sticks
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk (almond milk for low-carb)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the onion slices into individual rings. Select pairs of rings with a gap that will fit a mozzarella stick.
- Insert mozzarella sticks inside the gap of each onion ring and press together slightly to secure.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each mozzarella-filled onion ring into the egg mixture, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the ring to ensure it sticks.
- Place the prepared rings on the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the coating is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Let the rings cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with a low-carb dip like sugar-free marinara, ranch, or a simple garlic yogurt dip. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
