On a relaxing Friday night, do you ever find yourself yearning for a salty, crunchy snack—until you suddenly realize how many carbohydrates are in it? Yes, I have been there, my fellow onion ring lovers! I set out on a mission to find a way to replicate those delectable, crunchy flavors without compromising our commitment to a low-carb diet. On those days when you just can’t resist a snack, I present to you my homemade Low Carb Cheesy Onion Ring Chips. This dish allows us to enjoy without feeling guilty, born from a passion for comfort food and a desire for healthier solutions. These cheesy treats are a lifesaver for anybody attempting to eat better, whether they are on the ketogenic diet, limiting carbohydrates, or neither.Now consider refreshing salads or cold dips as possible pairings for these bad boys. They go well with herb-infused Greek yogurt dips or tangy ranch dressings. If you’re in the mood for something fancier, pair them with some grilled chicken or steak that’s juicy and seasoned with lemon. What are the odds? Endless!
Ingredients:
Here are the ingredients: – Two big onions, cut into quarter-inch rounds
paprika, 1 teaspoon – 1 cup almond flour and
Use half a teaspoon of garlic powder.
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (for heat, if desired)
2 big beaten eggs-Salt and pepper to taste
2-1/2 cups of grated cheese (cheese, mozzarella, or both)
Instructions:
What to do:
Turn the oven on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the onion pieces into thin discs.
thirdly, combine the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
4. Beat the eggs well in a separate shallow bowl.
5. Coat each onion disk with the almond flour mixture after dipping it in the egg wash; let excess egg wash to drip off.
Leave some space between each onion disk before placing them on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
Seven, coat the discs with shredded cheese, being careful not to let any cheese fall on the baking sheet but rather onto the onions.
Eight, bake for twelve to fifteen minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and becomes a golden brown color.
9. After a few minutes of cooling, use a spatula to remove the onion ring chips off the baking sheet.
Different Approaches and Hints: – Substitute almond flour with low-carb flour of your choice if you’re short on time; however, since coconut flour is quite absorbent, you may need to use less of it than almond flour. – Parmesan adds a pleasant sharpness, and spicy pepper jack adds a zesty twist; you may even use other cheeses to get other tastes.
– A Incorporate a teaspoon of Italian spice into the almond flour mixture to impart a hint of herbiness to your onion discs.
– A On weeknights when you’re really pressed for time, make the onion discs ahead of time, put them on a baking sheet, and then bake them when you’re ready to eat. What a wonderful way to save time!
– A To avoid overbrowning, keep a close check on the onion ring chips during baking, as every oven is somewhat different. They’re at their most delicious when eaten hot and crunchy from the oven!
Friends, have fun nibbling! Just make sure the carb count doesn’t sneak up on you.
Enjoy!
