Ingredients

  • 3 to 6 cups vegetable oil (more or less depending on pot size)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or water
  • 3 large yellow onions

Breading:

  • 2 1/3 cups soy flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Directions

Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least an inch of vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)

In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix the breading ingredients together.

Peel and slice the onions in thick slices and carefully separate the rings. Then dip individual onion rings in the breading, then the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well. Pat off any excess breading and carefully place into hot oil, in batches as necessary, and fry until golden brown and crisp, just 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately

Cook's Note: Soy flour is made from toasted soybeans and has already been "cooked." Therefore it has a tendency to brown faster than plain flour when frying.

Hint: Try this same breading for baked pork chops, okra, mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, chicken, and eggplant.

    Very tasty. I made a few adjustments. Like instead of the soy flour, we used Flax Seed Flour (Meal it is really fine and worked wonderfully. Also, used Vadalia Onions and sliced in about 1.5 to 2 inch slices. Yummy good! (just so you know, there are all sorts of nut flours at the health food store and of course they are all low carb to no carb!

    Onion rings and fried zucchini are my favorite fried foods. I was so excited to find a low carb recipe for them and truly wanted to like it. The zucchini turned out better than the onion rings, but unfortunately, neither was great. Maybe it was the flavor of the soy flour, but the taste was not pleasant, and you had to eat them straight out of the oil. If they cooled off at all, they got worse. I may try again and swap out the soy flour for flax seed meal to see if that improves it.

    You really have to dredge these in the egg and back into the flour mix for the batter to stick. The batter fluffs up nicely and the taste was great, almost like conventional batter. I also put this batter on mozz string cheese sticks cut in half and they were great. I was able to fing low carb Ketchup in my grocery store to eat with rings- yeah.
