These air fryer paleo onion rings are a healthier take on the classic carnival food. They're made with almond flour and tapioca flour instead of wheat flour, and they're cooked in an air fryer instead of deep-fried. The result is a crispy, flavorful onion ring that's also good for you.

Onion rings are a classic carnival food, but they're not exactly the healthiest option. They're usually made with wheat flour and deep-fried, which makes them high in calories and fat. But what if you could enjoy the same crispy, flavorful onion rings without all the guilt? That's where these air fryer paleo onion rings come in.
