I love that there is a way to make Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings .

Even better, I like that there is a way to air fry onion rings rather than oil fry them.
 

Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings

Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings

 
This is the non-greasy and low carb version of a favorite appetizer or restaurant side.

The good news is that these onion rings taste as good as the fried kind.
 

This recipe reminds me of my popular Air Fried Blooming Onion recipe.

The difference between the two recipes is that this one is about onion rings. The blooming onion recipe is about the whole onion itself.
 

Did you know that there are some useful accessories that you can use in your air fryer? You can see some useful accessories for your air fryer here.

If you have ever wondered is a air fried food healthy, this answer may help you.

An air fryer is used as an alternative to using a fryer that uses oil. You have already probably learned about frying anything in oil and health.

It is also a good thing that air fried versions of normally fried foods really do not taste much different.

Some people, such as myself, believe that the air fried versions are even better. I am not a fan of the after effect of oil.

To make this a low carb recipe we will need to swap out a few ingredients.

Obviously, you will need an air fryer, which you can easily find online.
Also, you will need a low carb flour such as Carbalose low carb flour. Lastly, you will need low carb bread crumbs or similar alternative.

 
You can make these air fried onion rings gluten free.

Instead of using the low carb flour and the low carb bread crumbs, use gluten free ones. You can find gluten free flour and gluten free bread crumbs online.

 

Here are some tips for making air fried onion rings.

I just mentioned that instead of all purpose flour and regular breadcrumbs, we will use alternatives. You can find online low carb flour such as Carbalose low carb flour, low carb bread crumbs or similar alternative, gluten free flour and gluten free bread crumbs .

Here are some more helpful tips.

  1. This recipe involves setting up a dredging station with two bowls. When transferring the sliced onion between bowls, make sure that you shake of the ingredients from the first bowl before dipping the onion into the second bowl.
  2. You can make your onion rings even more crisp by giving them a quick spray with nonstick or olive (or other) oil before placing them into the fryer basket.
  3. Take your onion rings up a notch by adding a bit of seasoning to the flour mixture. This can include Italian Seasonings, Salt,
    and/or Pepper.
  4. This is a reminder that you should give your air fryer a quick spray with nonstick before adding the onion rings in order to prevent sticking. Also, you will most likely need to make more than one batch rather than overcrowding the basket, for best results.

 

You may be wondering how this can be a low carb recipe since onions do have carbohydrates in them.

The average onion has about eight net carbs in it. Since you will most likely not be eating the entire onion yourself and the other ingredients are low in carbs, we can keep the carbs down per onion ring. YAY!

The recipe for Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings

Earlier I mentioned that instead of all purpose flour and regular breadcrumbs, we will use alternatives. You can find online low carb flour such as Carbalose low carb flour, low carb bread crumbs or similar alternative, gluten free flour and gluten free bread crumbs .

Also mentioned, were a few tips about the process of making these onion rings.

You can make your onion rings even more crisp by giving them a quick spray with nonstick or olive (or other) oil before placing them into the fryer basket.
 

What you will need to make this Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings

 

  • Onion- 1 large white (sweet). Slice this onion about ¼" thickness.
  • Low Carb Flour- 1 ¼ cup. Can use gluten free flour for a gluten free version.
  • Baking Powder- 1 teaspoon. Please use a fresh product and not an expired one for best results.
  • Seasonings to taste. Such as paprika or Old Bay.
  • Egg- one beaten.
  • Milk or Beer- 1 cup + 1 teaspoon.
  • Bread Crumbs- ¾ Cup. Use low carb bread crumbs or gluten free bread crumbs.

 

How to make Low Carb Air Fried Onion Rings

 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370 and lightly spray the basket for nonstick if needed.
  • Set up a 'dredging' area by setting two shallow bowls side by side. A shallow dish or pan may works for the second area instead of using a bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, use a fork or a whisk to blend together the flour, baking powder and seasonings.
  • Next, add the egg and then the milk (or beer) to the bowl and mix. We will divide the mixed contents of this by transferring half of this mixture to the first shallow bowl in our dredging area for the first batch. When your first shallow bowl runs low you can add the remaining mixture to it to use later.
  • Now in the second shallow bowl, or dredging area, place your bread crumbs.
  • Using a fork, carefully take the first slice of onion and fully cover it with the contents of the first bowl- using a dredging technique. Shake the onion slice out over the bowl. Then dip or dredge the onion slice through the bread crumbs. Crushing the crumbs up can help them stick a bit better if they seem to fall off easily.
  • Place the covered slices of onion into the fryer basket, being careful to not overlap if possible. When the first shallow dredging bowl runs out of its contents, simply refill it with the leftovers from the mixing bowl.
  • Tip- spray the onion rings with a bit of spray oil or something similar before placing the ring into the fryer. This will help it get crisp-like.
  • Air fry the onion rings for 8 minutes and then flip them over. Continue to air fry for another 8 minutes or until done.
