  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Onion Rings

  1. Slice the onions into rings, about 1/4-inch thick. Separate the rings carefully.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream.
  4. Dip each onion ring into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly to adhere.
  5. Set the coated rings on a plate or tray.

Step 2: Cook the Onion Rings

For Frying:

  1. Heat a deep skillet or pan with olive oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the onion rings in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove the onion rings from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

For Baking:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Lightly spray with olive oil or avocado oil spray and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Step 3: Make the Spicy Avocado Dip

  1. In a small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
  2. Add sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Adjust seasoning as needed and stir in fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Serve the crispy onion rings with the spicy avocado dip on the side for dipping.
  2. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
