Using a mini-waffle maker for keto onion rings is probably one of the easiest things I’ve ever done! I was a little skeptical if the onions would cook, but they did. These are so tasty! 🧅😋

We found this recipe on Instagram from Janelle Rohner and knew we had to share it with all of you! If you are a fan of onion rings, this recipe is for you.

Onion slices + cheese + waffle maker = easiest keto snack ever!

All you need for this recipe is mozzarella cheese, an onion, and some seasoning… that’s it! Oh, and a mini-waffle maker. I love my Dash waffle maker. If you’re using a different waffle maker, don’t miss the helpful cooking tips right below the recipe.

I like my keto onion rings chaffle-style a little more on the crispy side, but feel free to cook them to your preference.

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!

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.”
