These Low-Carb Onion Rings are the real deal! They crisp up beautifully, just like at the fair. I prefer to fry them but you could also oven-bake them for a lower fat option. I like to serve these with homemade ranch dressing, honey mustard, or my cranberry ketchup. I also like adding the leftovers to sandwich wraps the next day. For those looking for an even lower carb, keto-friendly snack, check out my Battered Mushrooms recipe. Total keto happy hour food experience!

For Frying Method Only:

½+ cup

Frying Method

Heat up ½ cup of palm shortening in a pan on the stovetop, over medium heat. (I add in more oil as needed over the cooking time)
Gently lay a few onion rings into the pan with the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry on each side until golden brown. If your Low-Carb Onion Rings brown too quickly, turn the heat down a notch.
