Onion rings have always been one of my guilty pleasures! There is something so desirable about the outside crunch paired with the delicious taste of the cooked onion. The only thing better about onion rings, is Paleo onion rings.
I’ve had a passion for cooking for a long time and I remember when I was a lot younger after watching Rachael Ray I would make my own onion rings at home. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually tried making these and I really wanted to try to make a healthier version. You can only really make these so “healthy” but I think it’s definitely clean enough to enjoy as a treat in your for freedom as you desire.
I bought my boyfriend an air fryer for his birthday and we have been experimenting with it. I tried these bad boys out in it (here is a link to ours) and they were so good! You can certainly bake these or add some oil to a pan and fry them traditionally if you do not have one.
