Oven Fried Onion Rings...Low Carb



It is an inclemency, unenlightenment and dull Weekday farewell here with unpredictable sprinkles forthcoming strike, tho' it looks same the sky could turn up at any second.  It's a enthusiastic day to playact around in the kitchen.  This afternoon I definite to experiment a bit.  I craved to see if an "almond flour coated" onion knell would convert.  !

 INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 medium to large sweet onion, sliced into 1/4" rings
  • 1 or 2 eggs (I used 1/2 cup Egg Beaters)
  • 3-4 Tablespoons half-n-half
  • 1/2 cup (slightly heaped) almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (or enough to give color to the almond flour coating) 
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil 
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil (I used Reynold's non-stick foil) and brush lightly with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil (no need to use your good Extra Virgin olive oil; I used my light "non-virgin" olive oil for this).  In a small bowl, beat egg and half and half together; season with salt and pepper to taste; add onion rings to the egg mixture, toss and let sit to soak while you make the coating/breading.

  3. In a shallow bowl or plate, mix almond flour, salt and pepper to taste, onion powder, paprika and mix well with a whisk to remove any lumps.  

  5. Take onion rings out, one or two at a time and place in the flour mixture, pressing and turning over with a fork until well coated on both sides.  Place on lightly oiled foil covered baking sheet in a single layer, not touching each other.  Place in oven and bake 7-8 minutes; flip and continue baking another 7-8 minutes or until golden brown and done.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt, if desired.
