Air Fryer Onion Rings Recipe
This Air Fryer Onion Rings Recipe delivers crispy, golden rings that are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. With simple ingredients and the magic of the air fryer, you’ll have delicious onion rings in no time!
Ingredients
- 2 large onions peeled and cut into ¼-inch thick slices
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Peel the onions and slice them into ¼-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the breaded onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover onion rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: Bread the onion rings and freeze them unbaked. Cook directly from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the air fryer time.
- Oil-Free Option: Skip the cooking spray for a lighter version, though the rings may be slightly less crispy.
