# Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Carefully separate the onion slices into individual rings. Select pairs of rings with a gap between them that can hold a mozzarella stick. Insert mozzarella sticks inside the gap of each pair, pressing together slightly to secure.

In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk.

Dip each mozzarella-filled onion ring into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then dip into the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the ring to ensure it adheres well.

Place the prepared rings onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Allow rings to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
