My family couldn’t get enough, so I guess it’s bigger portions next round!

There’s something so comforting about combining the earthy flavors of onion with the melty goodness of mozzarella, especially when it’s baked to perfection. These low-carb baked mozzarella onion rings are a modern twist on a beloved Midwestern treat. They’re perfect for those looking to indulge without the guilt. I remember my grandmother making fried onion rings in her cast iron skillet, and while those were delicious, this lighter, baked version offers a delightful crunch without the extra carbs. It’s a great recipe for family gatherings or a cozy night in.

These baked mozzarella onion rings pair wonderfully with a side of fresh garden salad, dressed with a simple vinaigrette. A bowl of tomato basil soup on the side would also make for a hearty and satisfying meal. Don’t forget to include some dipping sauces like marinara or a homemade ranch to elevate the flavors even more.
