tips to make Crunchy Keto Onion Rings Chaffle

  • Pat onion rings dry before battering to help the batter stick.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches.
  • Keep oil at medium heat so they brown but do not burn.
  • Use shredded mozzarella that is not too moist.
  • If batter is too thick, add a small splash of water to thin it slightly.

variation (if any)

  • Bake instead of fry: Spray rings with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) until crisp.
  • Add spice: Mix paprika or cayenne into the batter for heat.
  • Use different cheese: Try cheddar for a stronger flavor.
  • Make mini rings: Use smaller onion pieces for bite-size snacks.
