Sneha's Recipe: Onion Powder

What is a Chaffle?
It’s a waffle made with cheese hence the play on the word waffle starting with a ch instead of a w. There have many variations, all over the internet for Keto chaffle which is also a keto version of a wonder bread. All who follow a Keto/Low Carb diet do not incorporate flour which is high in carbs. Instead of having regular flour bread and other goods, it's always flourless in keto. Flour's made from coconut, almond , cashew, flaxseed, chia seeds ..to make bread's etc.

Chaffles have overtaken the Keto world by a storm? You will find numerous variations of the same on the internet.. be it Facebook, Google or YouTube, every Keto follower will make their own version to enjoy in their keto diet. When you are on a keto diet, bread, pancake, cakes etc.., are things that one craves for after sometime, so for every normal flour goods you will find a keto replacement.

In my version of Chaffles, I have not used cheese or any type of keto sweeteners. I have used this to make sandwiches...check this recipe here.

If you are following a Keto Diet then this recipe is perfect for you. These are light and delicious. You will not miss Waffles.. that I can assure you.

You can use chaffles for a Keto hamburger bun, Sloppy Joes, hot dog bun or to make a sandwich. It also make fantastic breakfast sandwiches and a whole lot more as well.

I have seen many using a Dash mini waffle maker, which is the perfect size for the Chaffle recipe. Since I already have a regular waffle iron, I did not want to invest in buying one just to make Chaffles, might as well use what you already have.

The best part of making Chaffles is that they freeze very well. They stay good in the freezer for more than a month to three months. These come handy just when you want them. You can reheat them in the waffle maker or microwave or a pop up toaster. I reheat them in my air fryer, they are crisp and fresh to use on reheated. These take just 30-45 seconds to reheat.

Makes 7 Chaffles

6 Eggs - beaten
1/3 Cup Keto Pasteurized Mayonnaise

Heat the waffle maker and when heat, grease the waffle iron with olive oil or butter. Pour the batter ( do not overfill or will the overflow and it will messy to clean). Fill all the gaps/holes and close the waffle maker.

It takes about 3 - 4 minutes for the chaffle to reach a golden brown color ( depending on the waffle make). Once it is done, it should be easy to remove from the waffle maker.

Don't have a waffle maker, or do not wish to make chaffles then use the same batter and make pancakes using a non stick pan.

These are light and delicious.

Onion flakes, are used in various food preparations such as dry soups, sauces, vegetable mixes, fast foods, etc. The dehydrated onion flakes has same flavor and taste as the freshly chopped onions.

The Onion powder is made by drying sliced onions in the hot sun for 4 -5 days.

But these Onion flakes made in the Air Fryer are quick and easy, got ready in an hour. They were not browned or burnt.

Ingredients
1 Kg Onions each for Flakes & Powder

Method

For the Onion Flakes

Remove root, top, and skins and wash the onions and pat them dry.

Then using a grater or a chopper, I used my V slicer to cut into fine dices.

Place the diced onions on a clean muslin cloth to dry for 2 to 3 hours at least .
Then place these in the basket of the Air fryer at 80 degrees. Then no need to preheat the Air Fryer.

Every 15 minutes give it a good stir so that they are evenly dried and crisp. If necessary keep it for another 10 to 15 minutes more.

Ta Da.. they are ready..

I loved making these in the Air Fryer since it is so easy and hassle free. No tension of it getting burnt. Place these again in the dry cloth and leave it overnight so that they are cool and dry completely. Store it in a zip lock bags in the refrigerator.

Use this to make French Onion Soup Mix and this Soup

For the Onion Powder

For this I finely sliced the Onions on my V Slicer. Spread them on a big plate or woven basket and sun dry it for 4 to 5 days, Before drying it the next day toss them well and set it to dry.
