Like the most recent posts, this was also ridiculously easy - just make sure you prep the onion rings one by one or else the mixture will clump and not coat as well. Keep an eye on the rings in the oil too, I incinerated half of them by accident
300g almond meal (grind the meal so it's closer to flour - helps coat better).
Two big-ass onions. Slice them carefully and separate the rings. (If I wasn't terrified of using a mandolin I would have used that).
2 eggs (beaten in a seperate bowl)
1 table spoon of paprika
1 table spoon of chilli flakes
(You can add more paprika and chilli flakes if you want them spicier).
Season the 'flour' with salt and pepper then mix in the paprika and chilli flakes. Dip the onion rings in the egg then coat with the mix before frying them in coconut oil until nice and golden. Let them rest on a paper towel then eat :D
Edit: Brother says we might be able to use coconut powder - we'll try that next time :D


Holy gods. You don't even know how much I've been craving onion rings lately. It is ridonkulous, and those pictures made me drool.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy, those look amazing! What a great spice mind.

I've haven't had onion rings in sooooo long! I can't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteTry using plain pork rinds that have been pulverized in the food processor -- add all the spices and herbs you like, then coat the onion rings with egg and dip in the powdered pork rinds. Bake in oven -- the fat in the pork rinds does a nice job of "frying" the onions as they bake -- one less step to cleaning up.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great Cathy! Thanks for sharing that tip!
DeleteThanks Cathy! I am new to Paleo, but I am familiar with Pork Rinds
DeleteYou sexy, sexy genius.
ReplyDeletewow, my guy would die for these!! Never thought to try almond meal, can't wait :) thanks!
ReplyDeletecan I make almond meal by pulverizing almonds in my coffee grinder? Throw in some pork grinds as well?
ReplyDeleteCould I pulverize some almonds in my coffee grinder for the "almond meal"? Then throw in some pork grinds as well?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why my coconut oil foamed up to where I couldn't see when my onion rings were done. They were still really tasty, though.
