Delicious Mozzarela Onion Rings, crispy on the outside with gooey mozzarella on the inside. A perfect appetizer or side dish!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/2 inch rings
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese sticks, cut into smaller sticks
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully separate the onion slices into individual rings and select pairs of rings with a gap between them that can hold a mozzarella stick.
- Insert mozzarella sticks inside the gap of each pair of onion rings, pressing together slightly to secure.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk.
- Dip each mozzarella-filled onion ring into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Then dip the ring into the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the ring to ensure it sticks well.
- Place the prepared rings onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow rings to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the almond flour mixture.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
