Tips for making the best keto onion rings chaffle-style:
- I used mozzarella cheese for these but you can mix it up with your favorite cheese. Cheddar or Colby Jack would be good too!
- If you’re using a Belgian waffle maker or a larger-size waffle iron, you may need to add more cheese and/or onion to fill the extra cavity space. You’ll want enough cheese on the bottom to melt through cavities and then enough piled on top to fully cover the onion and any spots still peeking through from the bottom.
- Cook time will vary depending on how many onion rounds you use. I do like them a little more crispy but found that with mozzarella cheese, they can go from crispy to burnt pretty quickly. So just keep your eye on them.
- These are so easy to make. I’m just giving you the recipe for one but you can easily double or triple or make 10x the recipe!
- Eat these for a snack, for lunch, or with dinner. I’ve done all three!
Yum, can you see the onion? So, so good!

Here’s what my Hip sidekick Chelsey had to say about these keto onion rings chaffle-style:
“If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and delicious recipe, give this one a try! It’s so easy to make, literally takes minutes and just a few ingredients. I’m a HUGE fan of onion rings and was worried that I’d miss the deep-fried breaded goodness that I love, but can honestly say that these were so good.
Plus, it uses ingredients that I usually have on hand so I can make them anytime I want! My husband and kiddo loved them too so that’s always a bonus.”
Easy and tasty! Everyone loved it
Yay! So glad you found this easy and tasty, Stephanie! Happy to hear everyone enjoyed it! 😊 💕
Tried them with mozzarella and cheddar, mozzarella ones were much better.
Thanks for letting us know which cheese you liked best for these, Doris! 🙌
OMG these taste like the best & crispiest French fries I’ve ever had! I don’t taste the onions as much as I’d hoped but I had someone taste test & they couldn’t believe it wasn’t a potato. Dip them in sugar free catsup or
G. Hughes SF yum yum sauce, and be prepared to have your mind blown!
Yay! SO happy these were such a hit, Kim! 🙌❤️ Thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed them! 😋
Am thinking these would be a great accompaniment to a warming bowl of tomato soup.
Hope you enjoy them, Darlene! 💞
Thanks, this ruined my waffle maker. Terrible to clean up, probably need to buy a new one. Probably could have saved my appliance if I added an egg or two.
So sorry to hear this, Laura! You might try spraying your waffle maker with cooking oil first so that it doesn’t stick if you decide to give it another try!
I just made this for first time and it tasted as good as it looked and it was super easy! Thank you!
Woohoo! Easy AND yummy is always a win! 🎉Thanks for the update, Michelle! Happy you enjoyed it so much! 🤗💕
