Recipe via Nutrition Facts – Baked Onion Rings Recipe Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Age Cookbook Onion rings were a favorite of mine growing up, but I thankfully (and heartfully) gave up my taste for those greasy oily, deep-fried, fatty monstrosities. The onion rings in this recipe come out pretty close to perfection. Try them with Black Bean Burgers and the Ranch Dressing from the How Not to Die Cookbook. COURSE: Appetizer, Side Dish DIFFICULTY: Moderate SERVINGS: 4 Ingredients ▢ 1 large red onion cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices ▢ ⅔ cup oat flour ▢ ¼ cup chickpea flour ▢ 1 cup Almond Milk ▢ 1 teaspoon rice vinegar ▢ ⅓ cup cornmeal ▢ ¾ cup bread crumbs 100% whole-grain salt-free ▢ ⅓ cup nutritional yeast ▢ 2 tablespoons Savory Spice Blend ▢ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Instructions Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. Separate the onion slices into rings. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In a shallow bowl, combine the oat flour, chickpea flour, Almond Milk, and vinegar. Stir to blend well. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, Savory Spice Blend, and paprika. Mix well. In a row, line up the bowls of onion rings, batter, breading mixture, and the prepared baking sheet. Dip an onion ring into the batter, coating it all over. Transfer the onion ring to the breading, tossing to coat. Use a clean, dry hand to sprinkle the breading onto the onion as needed. Place the coated onion ring on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients, arranging the rings in a single layer. Use a second sheet if needed. You should have enough batter and breading for about 20 onion rings. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and carefully turn rings over. Bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until crisp and nicely browned. Serve hot. To read the original article click here.

Dr. Don Colbert – If you’re a gardener, you may have onions coming out of your ears in September. Or, maybe you just like all things onions, from raw slices to the best onion recipes. If so, here’s a new option for delicious onions just in time for Labor Day: Keto Onion Rings. C’mon. Who doesn’t like onion rings!?! This onion option is so delicious and fun, you can share them on Labor Day day or enjoy them by yourself all year round. Here’s how to make Keto Onion Rings, and why you should eat more onions in general. Keto Onion Rings Ingredients 1 large sweet onion cut into rings 1 cup almond flour 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon paprika Sea salt Fresh ground pepper 2 eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon organic heavy cream cooking spray Instructions Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Place the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream. Ring by ring, dip the onion rings in the egg mixture, and then in the almond flour mixture. Be sure to press the almond flour mixture into the onions. Transfer the dipped rings to the lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining onion. To Bake the Onion Rings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use the lined baking sheet. Arrange rings in a single layer. Spray onions with cooking oil spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip and respray with oil. Bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, until crispy and brown. To Use an Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Arrange the onions in a single layer, cooking in batches as needed. (If desired, you can line your air fryer with air fryer liners.) Spray the onions with cooking spray and cook for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully reach under the onions and flip. Respray and cook 5 minutes longer. Nutrition info per 1/6 of the recipe, or about 3-4 rings: 217 calories, 16.4 grams fat, 3 grams net carbs (7.6 grams carbs, 4.6 grams fiber), 12.5 grams protein Reasons to Eat More Onions Onions are a fabulous food that supports human health in many ways. Here are a few: 1. ONIONS ARE PACKED WITH NUTRITION Onions are extremely nutrient-dense for the number of calories and carbs in them. In fact, one medium onion contains just 44 calories, 7 grams net carbs, and high amounts of vitamin C, B-vitamins, potassium, and fiber (1). 2. ONIONS ARE LOADED WITH ANTIOXIDANTS In addition to vitamin C, onions contain over 25 varieties of flavonoid antioxidants (2). Antioxidants are important to the human diet because they fight free radicals and oxidative stress, which cause damage to cells and tissues. Red onions, like other red and purple fruits and vegetables, contain anthocyanins. Diets high in antioxidants, and specifically anthocyanins, are associated with reduced risk of heart disease. One study of almost 44,000 men found that consuming up to 613 mg anthocyanins per day correlated to a 14% lower risk of heart attacks (3). Another study, of 93,600 women, found that those with a high intake of anthocyanins per day were 32% less likely to experience a heart attack than those with the lowest intake (4). 3. ONIONS SUPPORT HEART HEALTH Beyond the associations of reduced risk of heart attacks, onions contain compounds that support healthy triglyceride levels, cholesterol levels, and anti-inflammation mechanisms. Together, these support heart health. One heart-healthy compound found in onions is quercetin. It’s highly anti-inflammatory. One small study of 70 overweight individuals with high blood pressure showed that a daily dose of quercetin-rich onion extract significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 3-6 mmHg versus placebo (5). Other studies have shown onion’s positive effects in supporting healthy cholesterol and triglycerides. (6, 7, 8). 4. ONIONS SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR If you want better blood sugars, onions are a great food for you. Animal studies and human studies have found that raw onion promotes reduced fasting blood sugars (9), onion extract supports fat loss and healthy blood sugars (10), and that quercetin specifically plays a role in blood sugar regulation (11). What’s more, onion’s sulfur compounds may also encourage optimal blood sugars. 5. ONIONS SUPPORT HEALTHY BONE DENSITY When you think of bone-health foods, you may not think of onions. But, did you know that their fight against oxidative stress helps them support bone health? Studies back it up. One study of postmenopausal women found that consuming 3.4 ounces of onion juice daily for 8 weeks improved bone density (12). Another study, also with postmenopausal women, found that those who ate onions daily had 5% greater overall bone density than those who rarely ate them (13). Lastly, one study correlated eating onions with a 20% lower risk of hip fracture in older women (14). 6. ONIONS ARE HEALTHY FOR THE DIGESTIVE TRACT Onions support digestive health in 2 ways: 1) Their fibers are great for the healthy bacteria and strength of the gut. 2) Onions are highly anti-bacterial and fight potentially dangerous bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Bacillus cereus (15). Onions contain soluble, insoluble, and prebiotic fiber. Prebiotics are fibers that the healthy bacteria in the gut consume as food, making them stronger. When the bacteria consume the prebiotics, the byproduct is short-chain fatty acids, which further fortify the gut and overall health. Bottom Line If you’ve got a garden or farmer’s market full of fresh onions, it’s time to add them to your daily diet and support your whole-body health. Our Keto Onion Rings are a great way to share them in a delicious, company-worthy recipe. This Labor Day, take time to rest and enjoy great, healthy foods! To read the original article click here.
