Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Start by peeling your onions and slicing them into ¼-inch thick rings. Separate the rings carefully.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This is where the flavor starts, so feel free to get creative with your seasonings!
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Panko gives that extra crunch we all love.
- Now, take each onion ring and first coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it well with the breadcrumbs. Ensure each ring is well covered for that perfect crunch.
- Preheat your air fryer to 392°F (200°C). Arrange the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you might need to work in batches). Spray them lightly with cooking spray. Air fry for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve these golden beauties immediately. They're perfect with a side of ketchup, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- Size Matters: Try to use uniformly sized onion slices for even cooking.
- Batches are Best: Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding in the air fryer, which ensures each onion ring gets perfectly crispy.
- Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the flour mixture to suit your taste.
- Gluten-Free Option: Easily make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
- Vegan Adaptation: Substitute eggs with a flax egg and use plant-based milk for a vegan version.
