Keto Pork Rind Onion Rings

Set these Keto onion rings down and they’ll go fast! You won’t keep your hands out of this finger food and neither will any kids hanging around. Sweet yellow onions are breaded in a simple pork rind breading (your choice of plain or spicy). In fact, you only need 3 ingredients to make this Keto-friendly snack! They bake up perfectly crisp in the oven without burning or becoming too soft. The pork rinds add just the right amount of saltiness, but you are welcome to add any extra seasonings you enjoy to the breading. Make this recipe when you have the time because while the onion rings can be stored in your refrigerator for eating at a later time, they’re at their best quality if eaten fresh out of the oven. If you are looking for a Keto condiment recipe for dipping these bad boys in, some Carb Manager suggestions are made in the final step of the recipe!

Can I Cook Onion Rings In My Air Fryer?

You can save yourself a little time if you choose to use an air fryer instead of your oven. If you decide to use an air fryer, set it to 350 degrees instead of 425 degrees. Cook the onion rings for 10 minutes to start, and add on more time as needed. After 10 minutes, check if you need to flip the onion rings over or not to avoid burning. Depending on your style of air fryer, some items need to be flipped and some don’t.

Choosing The Right Onions

Yellow onions are the best for making onion rings. You can usually find yellow onions that are evenly round and just the right size for a Keto snack. Yellow onions are a middle-ground between white onions and Vidalia onions for sweetness. While Vidalia onions are sweeter, this also means they’ll have a little more carbohydrates per serving than yellow onions. Not to mention, yellow onions are cheaper anyways!
