Description
Make onion rings crispy in the air fryer without deep frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Slice onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings.
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls.
- In the first bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In the second bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
- In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Next, dip the floured ring into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
- Finally, press the ring firmly into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380F (195C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overlap.
- Spray the tops of the onion rings lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Spray the second side lightly with cooking spray before flipping.
- Remove and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining rings.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, chill the breaded rings for 15 minutes before air frying.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or ranch dressing.
