Air Fryer Onion Rings
Air fryer onion rings are just as crispy and tasty as the regular fried version, just without all that oil. These seasoned onion rings make a great snack or side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cups Panko breadcrumbs regular or gluten-free
- 1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 Cup buttermilk
- 1/2 Cup all purpose flour
- 1 yellow onion sliced in 1/2-inch rings
- Nonstick cooking spray as needed
Instructions
- Stir the Panko, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and smoked paprika together in a bowl.
- In a second bowl, beat the eggs and buttermilk together.
- Add the flour to a third bowl.
- Dip onion slices in the flour, then in the eggs, and lastly into the panko, pressing the Panko firmly onto the onions.
- Spray the onion rings well with cooking spray and place in the air fryer, making sure not to crowd the basket.
- Air fry at 375°F for 5 minutes, flip and spray again, then fry for another 5 minutes.
- Remove and serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
No buttermilk? You can make your own by mixing a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar into just under 1/3 cup of whole milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then proceed with the recipe.
Try different onions: Any kind of onion can be used to make onion rings, including sweet onions and even shallots (although those will come out pretty small!)
Make them softer: The thicker the onion rings, the softer they will be inside. So if you like a crispy coating and soft center, that's good to know.
