ZeroKrumb Onion Rings with Smoky Tallow Dip
Crispy, savoury, and ridiculously moreish — these ZeroKrumb Onion Rings take snacking to the next level. The meaty crunch of the crumbs gives each bite a carnivore twist, while the smoky tallow dip ties it all together with rich, braai-style flavour. Serve them hot and golden, and watch them disappear faster than you can fry the next batch.
ZeroKrumb Onion Rings with Smoky Tallow Dip
Ingredients:
For the Onion Rings:
2 large onions, sliced into thick rings
2 eggs, whisked (optional: add 1 tsp water to loosen slightly)
¾ cup ZeroKrumbs
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ tsp smoked paprika or garlic powder
For the Smoky Tallow Dip:
1 ½ Tbsp melted tallow (cooled slightly)
2 Tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
Method:
- Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow bowl, beat eggs with water. In another bowl, combine ZeroKrumbs, salt, and seasoning. - Coat the Rings:
Separate onion rings and dip each one into egg mixture, then into ZeroKrumbs. Press lightly so the crumbs stick well. - Cooking Options:
- Air Fryer: 190°C for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and golden.
- Pan Fry: Heat tallow in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry rings until golden on each side. Drain on paper towel.
- Make the Dip:
Stir together tallow, mayo (or sour cream), paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Serve warm for dipping
Serving Ideas: Serve these hot and golden straight from the pan, with your smoky tallow dip on the side — they’re unreal next to a juicy steak or piled onto a burger for that extra crunch.
