Cajun Baked Onion Rings

We LOVE onion rings in this house! These are great on their own or served w/ a dip (e.g., ketchup, ranch, BBQ sauce, or a fancy onion ring sauce).

TIPS: You can make this a Keto or LowCarb recipe – just sub crushed pork rinds for the breadcrumbs and sub almond flour for the all purpose flour.
