Crispy Air Fryer Paleo Onion Rings

These crispy air fryer paleo onion rings are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional onion rings. They are made with almond flour and tapioca flour, and are coated in a flavorful blend of spices. The air fryer cooks them to perfection, resulting in a crispy and golden-brown exterior and a tender and juicy interior.

The onion ring is a classic American appetizer that is often served at parties and gatherings. It is typically made with onion slices that are coated in a batter and then fried. However, this recipe for paleo onion rings is a healthier alternative to the traditional version. It uses almond flour and tapioca flour instead of wheat flour, and it is cooked in an air fryer instead of being fried in oil. This results in a crispy and golden-brown exterior and a tender and juicy interior, without all the added fat and calories.
