Low Carb Onion Rings

Maria Emmerich
Servings 6
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large organic sweet onions
  • 24 slices 1 pound smoked bacon (don't get maple bacon like I mistakenly did once)
  • OPTIONAL DIPS:
  • 1 cup hollandaise
  • 1 cup avocado hollandaise
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup "healthified" ranch dressing

Instructions
 

  • Turn your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Slice the onions into 2/3 inch rings. Reserve the small inside rings for other recipes; you want large rings that are easy to wrap in bacon. Some rings may be small enough to use 1/2 slice of bacon.
  • Wrap each onion slice tightly in bacon and use a toothpick to hold in place.
  • Place onto a cookie sheet (with edges!) and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve with desired dipping sauce.
  • TIP: Use thinly sliced bacon, thick bacon is very difficult to wrap around the onion ring.
