how to make Keto Air Fryer Onion Rings

Ingredients :

2 large onions
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Directions :

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the onions into rings and separate them.
In one bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each onion ring first into the egg, then into the almond flour mixture, coating well.
Place the coated rings in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Spray with cooking spray.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and serve warm.

how to serve Keto Air Fryer Onion Rings

Serve warm with a low-carb dip like ranch, sugar-free ketchup, or aioli. They work as a side for burgers or as a crunchy snack on their own. Plate them on a paper towel to keep them crisp.

how to store Keto Air Fryer Onion Rings

Let rings cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to bring back crispness.

tips to make Keto Air Fryer Onion Rings

Use large, firm onions so the rings hold shape.
Pat rings dry before battering to help the coating stick.
Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches for best crisp.
Lightly spray the tops with oil so they brown well.
If the coating falls off, press it onto the ring before cooking.

variation (if any)

Use pork rind crumbs instead of almond flour for a different crunch.
Add chili powder or cayenne for heat.
Swap Parmesan for a mix of Parmesan and shredded cheddar for more flavor.
Make them smaller or larger by slicing onion thickness to taste.
