Description
Delicious golden baked onion rings with a crispy parmesan coating, perfect for low-carb snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion (about 150 g)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (approximately 100 g)
- 1 large egg
- Salt, to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
- Black pepper, to taste (about 1/8–1/4 tsp)
- Olive oil spray or a light drizzle of olive oil (optional)
- Optional: 2 tbsp almond flour
- Optional: 1/4 cup finely crushed pork rinds
- Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder, paprika, or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil or spray the paper.
- Peel the onion and slice it into rings about 1/4–3/8 inch thick. Carefully separate the rings.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another shallow dish, mix the grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and any optional dry seasonings.
- Working one ring at a time, dip the onion into the beaten egg, then press into the parmesan mixture to fully coat. Repeat for all rings.
- Arrange the coated rings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Lightly spray with olive oil to encourage browning and crispness.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crisp. Watch closely near the end to prevent burning.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use a firm, sweet onion for best flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Re-crisp in the oven or air fryer before serving.
