Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
Place coconut flakes plus the 2 tablespoons of almond meal in a shallow dish and mix together.
Place 1/4 cup almond meal in a separate shallow dish with salt & pepper and mix together.
Pour egg whites into a small bowl.
Take one ring at a time and coat with almond meal first, then dip into egg whites and then coat in the coconut flakes. Place onion ring on baking sheet and repeat with remaining rings.
Bake for 8 minutes and then remove from the oven and carefully flip. Bake for another 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with preferred dip. I mixed plain greek yogurt and sriracha together.
