Air Fryer Onion Rings
Description
The air fryer onion rings start with large onion slices cut into half-inch thick rings separated before coating. The coating process involves three steps: a flour dusting, dipping into a beaten egg and milk mixture, and then rolling in panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy finish. The air fryer preheated to 400°F crisps the onion rings in 7 to 10 minutes, with a light spray of cooking oil to encourage browning.
The result is a snack with a crunchy breadcrumb exterior and a tender cooked onion interior. The air frying method reduces excessive oil usage typical of deep-frying but maintains desirable texture. The onion rings are served sprinkled with salt and pair well with various dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 onion sliced into 1/2? thick pieces and separated into rings, large
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- cooking spray
Instructions
- You will need 3 small bowls. Place flour in one bowl, eggs and milk in a second bowl (beat them together) and then the Panko crumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat the sliced onions in the flour, then in the egg mixture and then in the bread crumb mixture. Place on a separate plate until ready to air fry.
- Continue to do this until all of the onions have been coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. *Note: If your air fryer does not have a preheat option than run your air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes to heat up the air fryer.
- Place the coated onions in the air fryer in a single layer (do not overlap), spray the tops of the onions with oil spray to make them brown when they cook and cook at 400 degrees F for 7-10 minutes until your onions are cooked to the crispiness that you prefer.
- Serve topped with salt with your favorite dipping sauces.
