Fresh out of the oven, my husband devoured six all by himself!

Onion rings are a classic snack, but if you're like me, trying to keep things low-carb can be a bit of a challenge. Enter these Low Carb Cheesy Onion Ring Chips with Herbed Parmesan! They're crispy, cheesy, and satisfyingly savory. I first stumbled upon this idea when I was experimenting with almond flour as a breading alternative, and it quickly became a household favorite. Perfect for game day or just a cozy night in, these onion rings are a guilt-free indulgence.

These onion ring chips are perfect on their own, but if you're looking to make a meal out of them, consider pairing them with a fresh green salad or some grilled chicken for a balanced plate. They also make a great side dish for a juicy burger or a hearty bowl of chili. And don't forget the dipping sauces! A side of marinara or a creamy ranch dip would complement these cheesy bites beautifully.

Servings: 4 servings

2 large onions, sliced into discs
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 large eggs, whisked
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the onions into discs and carefully separate them into rings.

In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

In another dish, whisk the eggs.

Dip each onion ring into the whisked eggs, then coat with the almond flour mixture.

Place the coated onion rings on the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle a mix of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the onion rings.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. If you're not a fan of almond flour, you can try using coconut flour, but be aware it may change the texture slightly. For a different flavor profile, swap the Italian seasoning for a mix of cumin and chili powder. You can also experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or pepper jack, for a unique twist. If you're prepping ahead, you can bread the onion rings and store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
