Air Fryer Onion Rings

These air-fried onion rings put a lighter spin on the deep-fried classic—golden, crunchy, and ideal as a snack or side without the heavy oil.

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

1. Heat the air fryer to 370°F so the rings begin crisping as soon as they hit the basket.
2. Dust each onion ring in flour, tapping off the surplus.
3. Dip into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip back into the bowl.
4. Press into the panko mixture so the crumbs stick well, then set each ring on a large plate.
5. Lay the rings in a single layer in the basket (batch as needed) and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
6. Air fry at 370°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until deep golden and crisp.
7. Eat right away with a dipping sauce you like.
