Air Fryer Onion Rings
Description
The preparation starts by slicing a large sweet onion into half-inch thick rings and separating them. The rings are dredged first in seasoned flour mixed with salt and cayenne pepper, then dipped in an egg and buttermilk mixture, and finally coated thoroughly with panko bread crumbs combined with vegetable oil and optional cornmeal for extra crunch. The double-coating helps the breading adhere and contributes to a crispy texture.
Once coated and sprayed lightly with cooking spray for crisping, the onion rings are arranged in a single layer in a preheated air fryer at 350°F. Cooking for 12-15 minutes crisps the exterior without requiring deep frying. The finished onion rings develop a crunchy exterior while retaining softness inside. A final sprinkle of seasoning salt enhances the flavor profile, providing a savory, lightly spiced snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

- Dip each onion into egg mixture and then into the flour mixture. Dip it back into the egg mixture and finally into the bread crumb mixture pressing to adhere.
- Once all rings are coated, spray each with cooking spray. Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
