Air Fryer Onion Rings
Crispy, golden onion rings from the air fryer deliver all the crunch of the deep-fried classic with a fraction of the oil. A panko-and-spice crust clings to sweet onion rings and bakes up shatteringly crisp - a perfect light side or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 oz yellow onion (1 large), cut into 1/2-inch rings
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp olive oil spray
- 1 tbsp ketchup (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Slice onion into 1/2-inch rings and separate them.
- Combine flour, paprika, and garlic powder in a shallow dish.
- Whisk egg and milk in a second dish; place panko in a third.
- Dredge each onion ring in flour, then egg mixture, then panko, pressing to coat evenly.
- Spray rings lightly with olive oil spray.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches.
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
