Have you ever been relaxing on a cozy Friday evening, wanting a crispy, tasty snack, but then you realize how many carbs it has? Hello, my fellow fans of onion rings, I understand how you feel! That’s why I started trying to recreate that tasty, crunchy goodness without breaking our commitment to a low-carb diet.

Created out of a love for tasty meals and a desire for healthier choices, this recipe allows us to enjoy without feeling guilty. If you are following a keto diet, reducing carbs, or simply aiming to eat healthier, these cheesy snacks will make a big difference.

Onion Rings with Cheese and Few Carbs
Portions: Serves about 4 people.
List of ingredients:
2 big onions, cut into thin slices – 1 cup of almond flour – 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon of powdered garlic
– 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if you want a spicy flavor)
– Add salt and pepper as desired. – Beat 2 large eggs.
– 2 cups of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut your onion slices into separate pieces.
In a flat container, combine almond flour with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
In another flat dish, beat the eggs well.
Dip each slice of onion in the egg, let the extra drip off, and then cover it with the almond flour mix.
Put the onion slices covered in the mixture on the baking sheet that has been prepared, making sure to leave some space between each slice.
7. Put a lot of shredded cheese on top of each circle, making sure most of it stays on the onions and not on the baking sheet.
Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and turns golden brown.
Let the onion ring chips cool down for a bit before taking them off the baking sheet using a spatula.
Differences and Advice: – If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour or another low-carb flour instead. Just remember that coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so you might need to use less of it. You can use different types of cheese to create various flavors; parmesan adds a sharp taste, or you can try spicy pepper jack for a zesty kick.
I’m sorry, but I need a text to paraphrase. Please provide me with a sentence or passage that you would like me to simplify. To add a touch of herbs to your sliced onions, mix a teaspoon of Italian seasoning with the almond flour.

On busy nights, you can prepare sliced onions in advance, keep them in the fridge on a baking sheet, and then bake them when you’re ready to eat. Discussing something that saves a lot of time!
I’m sorry, but it seems like you haven’t provided any text for me to paraphrase. Could you please provide the text you would like me to simplify? And don’t forget, every oven is unique, so be sure to watch your onion ring chips closely to avoid them getting too brown. They taste best when they are fresh and crunchy, right out of the oven!
Enjoy your snacks, friends! Make sure to savor each bite without worrying about the number of carbs you are consuming.
