Ingredients
- 1 Large Onion cut into 1/4-inch slices
- Frying Oil (see notes below) (enough to fill your pan with 1" of oil)
- 1 Cup Whey Protein Isolate
- 2 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan grated
- 6 Tablespoons Soda Water
- 1 Egg whisked
Instructions
- Heat 1" of oil on high in a heavy bottom pan (I use a skillet). I like to use a smaller pan for this so I don't need as much oil. Alternatively, you can use a deep fryer set to 365 F.
- Separate large onion (1) slices into rings and set aside.
- In a wide-mouthed bowl, combine whey protein (1 cup), xanthan gum (2 teaspoon), salt (1 1/2 teaspoon), baking powder (2 teaspoon), and grated parmesan (1/2 cup).
- Add soda water (6 tablespoons) and whisked egg (1), and stir until well combined. The combo will be wet.
- Once the oil is hot (about 375 F), use tongs to transfer the onion rings into the coating, then directly in the oil.
- Allow the onion rings to fry until golden, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Continue until you've fried all the onions rings.
- Serve immediately (will get soggy over time) and enjoy!
Notes
- Frying Oil should have a high smoke point and mild flavor. Please keep in mind that all oils are low in carbs, but some are considered "healthier" based on polyunsaturated fats. If this is a concern to you, opt for avocado oil, or peanut oil (slightly higher). If not, vegetable or canola are great frying oils. I use peanut oil for frying.
- Xanthan Gum is necessary for binding the ingredients of this recipe together, you CAN'T SKIP OR SUB!
- Best served with homemade ranch dressing or low carb ketchup!
