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!

Instructions

  1. Slice the Onion: Trim ends from onion and remove the outer peel. Cut onion into rings about ½-inch thick.
  2. Coat the Onions: In three separate shallow bowls mix together the following:Bowl 1: Add flour, garlic powder, paprika, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined.Bowl 2: Add egg and milk. Whisk until well combined. Add in ⅓ cup of flour mixture from bowl 1 and mix until smooth.Bowl 3: Add Panko bread crumbs, remaining salt, and oil. Toss until crumbs are well coated in the oil.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.
  3. Cook in Air Fryer: 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.
  4. Serve immediately with a side of ketchup and enjoy!

Notes

  • Prep-Ahead Instructions:
  • Slice the onions a day or two early.
  • Storage Directions:
  • If you don't think you'll eat all of the onion rings in one setting, it's better to only air fry what you think you'll eat. Store the coated but uncooked onion rings in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Pull them out about 10-15 minutes before cooking and follow the directions for cooking. If you want to store already cooked onion rings, place them in a large plastic or glass container with a piece of wax or parchment paper between the layer of rings. Return the onion rings to a 300-325°F air fryer and reheat for a 3-4 minutes.
  • Recipe Tips:
  • Serving size is for roughly 3-4 onion rings.
  • Keep onion rings warm between batches by placing on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 250 degree oven.  
  • Choose wisely. Grab an onion you like the flavor.
  • Same size. Try your hardest to slice the onions into rings roughly the same width so they cook consistently.
  • Give 'em space. Don't overload the air fryer.
  • Dig in. These are best enjoyed immediately after making.
