Air Fryer Onion Rings
Air fryer onion rings are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. These crispy, golden rings are the perfect snack or side dish, delivering all the crunch and flavor of deep-fried onion rings without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, sliced into ½-inch rings
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1¼ cups panko bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Steps
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F. Preheating ensures that the onion rings start cooking immediately upon being placed in the basket, which helps achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Take each onion ring and coat it with flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
- Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra egg to drip back into the bowl.
- Finally, coat the ring thoroughly with the panko mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well. Place each coated ring on a large plate.
- Arrange the onion rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Lightly drizzle with olive oil.
- Air fry at 370°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
