Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Onion Slices:
- Slice your onions into 1/4-inch discs and separate them into individual rings.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
4. Beat Eggs:
- In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well-beaten.
5. Coat Onion Rings:
- Dip each onion ring into the egg wash, letting any excess egg drip off.
- Then coat the onion ring with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coat.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the coated onion rings on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each ring for even cooking.
7. Add Cheese:
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over each onion ring.
8. Bake:
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the onion rings are crispy.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Let the onion ring chips cool for a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheet with a spatula.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra flavor: Add a sprinkle of parsley or chives on top after baking.
