#NationalOnionRingDay

Today is #NationalOnionRingDay…who knew there was such a thing. I didn’t get into the whole onion ring thing till my later years, but they are growing on me! I found a recipe for you to make a healthier, paleo friendly version of an onion ring from Clean Food Crush, enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium yellow onions or 2 large sweet onions, sliced into 3/4 inch rings
  •  1 cup almond meal/flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbs dried/freeze dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt.

Combine all dry ingredients with a fork

  • 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees f
  2. Dip onion rings into beaten eggs, then into the almond flour mixture to coat.
  3. Work in very small batches so that the almond flour does not become soggy (it will not stick if it’s soggy.)
  4. Place coated rings in single layer on a flat baking tray coated with avocado or coconut oil. I also sprayed (very lightly) the tops of these with coconut oil immediately before baking, so they were crispy.
  5. Bake 14-16 minutes, until they begin to brown.
