These viral high-protein keto onion rings are an innovative, healthy twist on the classic snack. Made without breadcrumbs and fried oil, they use shredded parmesan cheese to create crispy, flavorful onion rings baked to perfection. Perfect for keto and low-carb diets, this simple recipe offers a crunchy, savory treat with minimal ingredients and maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Onion Rings

  • 2 white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings

Coating & Seasonings

  • 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Italian seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Create Cheese Molds: For each onion ring, place about 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese directly onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a small circle to act as a cheese “mold” base.
  3. Place Onion Rings: Carefully position one onion slice atop each cheese circle, ensuring it is centered for even coating.
  4. Add Top Cheese Layer: Sprinkle another tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the onion slice to cover it.
  5. Press and Bind: Gently press down with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten the cheese, helping it adhere to the onion and form a crust as it bakes.
  6. Season: Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning over each prepared onion ring to enhance flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  8. Cool and Crisp: Remove the onion rings from the oven and let them cool for 10–15 minutes to set and become extra crispy before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure onion rings are uniform in thickness (about 1/4 inch) for even cooking.
  • Use freshly shredded parmesan cheese for best melting and crisping results.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • To make the onion rings extra crispy, avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet.
  • Store leftover onion rings in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
