Ingredients in Keto Onion Rings
Cheddar. Freshly grated cheddar tastes best in this recipe.
Onions. Two medium sized onions are needed.
Chili powder. Because this recipe includes a mixture of my homemade taco seasoning ingredients, chili powder provides a moderate level of spicy.
Salt. Salt enhances the flavor of the remaining spices in this taco seasoning mixture.
Pepper. Freshly ground black pepper gives this dish some spice and flavor.
Oregano. Dried oregano leaves provides flavor.
Garlic powder. Just a small amount of garlic powder provides a hint of garlic in the taco seasoning.
Onion powder. Onion powder pairs well with the rest of the spices to create a savory and flavorful taco seasoning.
Paprika. Paprika brings a hint of sweetness to the savory taco seasoning.
Cayenne. Just a pinch of cayenne packs a lot of heat and taste.
