Air Fryer Onion Rings Recipe

Air Fryer Onion Rings are super crispy and crunchy, easy-to-make, and so much healthier for you than deep-fried!  Use a 3-bowl technique to coat your sliced onions with flour, an egg wash, and breadcrumbs.  You'll then cook them in the Air Fryer until golden brown and ultra crispy.  They make a great game day snack or weeknight dinner appetizer or side dish!

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion
  • ½ cup flour gluten-free or all purpose
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • 1 ¼ tsp. salt tot aste
  • 1 egg large
  • ⅓ cup milk cashew or almond milk
  • 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs gluten-free
  • 2 Tbsp. oil

Instructions

  • Trim ends from onion and remove the outer peel. Cut onion into rings about ½-inch thick.
  • In three separate shallow bowls mix together the following:

  • Dip one onion ring in the flour mixture, dredge the egg wash, and then coat with the bread crumbs.  Repeat this process with the remaining onion rings and place on a plate until ready to air fry.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F for at least 3 minutes. Add onion rings in a single layer making sure not to overlap them. You can place smaller rings inside of bigger rings to make more room.
  • Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping rings halfway through. Repeat this step with remaining onion rings until they are all cooked.
  • Keep onion rings warm between batches by placing on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 250°F oven.
  • Serve immediately with a side of ketchup and enjoy!
