Servings: 4
Preparation Time:  15 minutes

• 1 large, sweet white onion, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
• 1/2 cup coconut cream concentrate, warmed to liquid
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened, flaked coconut
• coconut oil, for the baking sheet
• additional salt, for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees ºF. Separate the onion slices into rings, saving the smaller, internal rounds for another use.

Place the coconut cream concentrate, eggs, water, salt, and smoked paprika in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the batter in a shallow dish. Spread the flaked coconut in another shallow dish.

Oil a cookie sheet with coconut oil. Dip each onion ring into the coconut butter mixture to lightly coat, and then into the flaked coconut. Place in a single layer on the cookie sheet. When all of the onion rings are coated, bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly browned. Sprinkle on additional salt, if desired. Serve hot.
