These crispy onion rings will taste like they’re fried but without all the fat and grease to go along with it. Coated with flax seed and olive oil as a healthy alternative to oil and fat, these rings are the perfect, crunchy snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet or spanish onion cut into rings

First coating -

• 4 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp mesquite powder
• Sea salt to taste

Second coating -

• 1 cup ground golden flax seeds
• 1/2 cup ground unsoaked almonds
• 1–2 tsp. paprika
• Sea salt and pepper to season

Preparation:

Take each onion ring, dip it into the 2nd coating, then into the 1st coating and then back into the 2nd coating. Your goal is to get as much of the 2nd coating as possible. Once you have achieved that, gently take the the coated onion rings and put them on dehydrator trays (without paraflexx sheets) and dehydrate the rings for about 10–14 hrs at 105 °F or until crispy.
