Ingredients
Method
- Arrange 3 small, shallow bowls in a line: one with coconut flour and sea salt stirred together, one with eggs beaten, and one with pork rinds, almond flour, paprika, and garlic powder stirred together.
- Lightly grease 2 air fryer oven racks or an air fryer basket.
- Dredge an onion ring in coconut flour. Dip it in the egg, shake off the excess, then place in the pork rind mixture. Scoop extra pork rind mixture over it, so that it's coated on all sides. Place into the air fryer rack or basket. Repeat with all the onion rings, placing them in a single layer without touching. (You may need to cook them in two batches if you don't have 2 air fryer racks.)
- Preheat the air fryer or air fryer oven to 400 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes.
- For an air fryer oven: Place both racks into the air fryer oven. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the top layer is golden. Switch racks and bake for 8 more minutes, until the top layer is golden again. For a regular air fryer: Only half the onion rings will fit into the basket in a single layer. Place the basket into the air fryer. Bake for 16 minutes, until golden. Remove the onion rings, arrange the next batch of uncooked rings, and repeat.
Notes
- Ensure onion rings are in a single layer in the air fryer for maximum crispiness.
- For extra crunch, double-dip the onion rings: coat in coconut flour, then egg, then pork rind mixture, then egg again, then pork rind mixture again.
- Experiment with different seasonings in the pork rind mix, like cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
