Coconut macaroons, not to be confused with French macarons, are an easy and delicious snack to whip up whenever you’re feeling for something sweet on the keto diet.

Keep in mind that unlike deep-fried onion rings, these low carb onion rings are not whole pieces of onion. Instead, you are using a donut mold to craft chopped onions into something delicious that takes like traditional onion rings. Plus, because of the ingredients I’m using, you will get the satisfying crunch and flavor you crave while keeping your carb intake in check. Whether you eat them as an appetizer, side dish or party snack, these onion rings are sure to please.
