Description

These crispy baked onion rings are irresistible! Prepare to watch them disappear quickly; their savory flavor and satisfying crunch make them an instant crowd-pleaser. Sweet yellow onions, coated in a seasoned breading, transform into a delightful snack that both adults and children will adore.

The simple breading creates a beautiful golden crust as they bake in the oven, offering a wonderful contrast to the tender onion inside. The secret to their amazing flavor lies in the careful seasoning of the breading. The savory base provides the perfect amount of saltiness, enhancing the natural sweetness of the onions.

Feel free to experiment with your favorite spices and herbs to customize the flavor to your liking. A dash of garlic powder, a pinch of smoked paprika, or a sprinkle of dried herbs can elevate these onion rings to a whole new level. While these onion rings can be stored in the refrigerator, they are truly at their best when enjoyed fresh from the oven.

The warmth enhances their aroma and the crispness is simply unparalleled. For optimal enjoyment, consider making them just before serving. For those who prefer a quicker cooking method, an air fryer offers a convenient alternative.

Simply adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly, keeping a close eye to ensure they achieve the perfect golden-brown hue. Yellow onions are the ideal choice for these onion rings. Their balanced sweetness and readily available size make them perfect for snacking.

When selecting your onions, look for ones that are uniformly round and of medium size. The mild sweetness of yellow onions complements the savory breading beautifully, creating a harmonious flavor profile that will leave you wanting more. Serve these delightful onion rings as a snack, appetizer, or side dish – they are guaranteed to be a hit!

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the onions about 30 minutes before you want to bake them. Peel a medium-sized onion for 2 servings. Slice the onion(s) into wide, 1-inch rings. Pull the onion rings apart into individual rings and select approx. 6 rings per serving. Choose the largest and medium-sized rings. You can store the smaller rings in your refrigerator to use at another time. The onion weight listed in the ingredients is the final yield after selecting your onion rings.
    2.
    Place the onion rings in a small bowl and fill it with cream until the onion rings are covered. You will likely need more cream than what is listed in the ingredients, but you will not be consuming this excess. Set the bowl of onion rings and cream in your refrigerator to tenderize for 30 minutes. This step is not necessarily 100% required, so you can move on directly to Step 3 if you are in a pinch for time.
    3.
    Turn on your oven to preheat to 425 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set it aside. Grind pork rinds in a food processor or powerful blender until you have a fine bread crumb texture. Donbt over-grind the pork rinds, or else the oils will release and make your bread crumbs too dense and soft. Arrange the ground pork rinds on a plate for breading the onion rings.
    4.
    One-by-one, use a fork to lift an onion ring out of the cream and shake off any excess liquid. Transfer the onion ring to the pork rinds and coat the ring in the crumbs. The onion rings do not have to be 100% coated in pork rinds. An 80%-90% coverage will let the onion rings bake perfectly. Arrange all breaded onion rings on the sheet tray.
    5.
    Bake the tray of onion rings for 20 minutes in the oven, flipping them over halfway through. The pork rinds will become darker and the edges of the onion rings will be a golden or darker brown. The onions themselves will be tender but maintain their integrity. Serve about 6 onion rings per serving with your favorite Keto dipping sauce.
