Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings
Delightful and healthier snack or appetizer with a perfectly crispy texture made in the air fryer.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the onions into rings and separate them.
- Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
- Place the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spray with cooking spray.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
Serving
- Serve warm as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results. Store leftover onion rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
