Equipment
- 1 measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- 1 knife
- 2 pie plates or shallow dishes
- 1 large frying pan
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 2 Tbsp. Parmesan
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. parsley

Instructions
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl or pie plate.
- In another shallow bowl or pie plate, combine the dry ingredients.
- Slice the onion into ½-inch slices and separate the rings.

- Dredge the onions in the dry mixture until coated heavily.
- Place the coated onion rings in the hot oil in a single layer. Do not disturb them until the bottoms are firm and golden.
