• Preheat the air fryer oven racks to 400 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes.

Keto Onion Rings – Tips & Notes

Keto & Low-Carb Friendly:

• These onion rings use coconut flour, almond flour, and crushed pork rinds instead of traditional wheat flour or breadcrumbs, keeping them low-carb and keto-approved.
• Each serving provides a crunchy, satisfying appetizer or snack without spiking carbs.

Preparation Tips:

• Slice onions to uniform ½-inch rings for even cooking.
• Ensure the coating sticks by dredging each ring first in coconut flour, then egg, then the pork rind mixture.
• Give the coated onion rings enough space on the air fryer racks to prevent sticking.

Cooking Tips:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F to achieve maximum crispiness.
• Flip or switch racks halfway through cooking for even browning.
• Lightly spray or brush rings with oil if desired for extra golden texture.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a keto-friendly dipping sauce like ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or sugar-free ketchup.
• Pair as a starter or side with burgers, grilled meats, or salads to complete a low-carb meal.
