Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups Panko bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 yellow onion sliced into ½-inch rings
  • extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • tartar sauce optional, for dipping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. On a rimmed tray, mix the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. In a small shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Place the flour in another small bowl.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
  3. Dip each onion ring into the flour, then tap to remove any excess flour. Dip it in the egg, coat with the panko mixture, and then place on a large plate.
  4. Drizzle the onion rings with olive oil and transfer them to the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer with a little space around each ring. Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with any remaining onion rings. Serve with tartar sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Tip: Once all batches are finished, toss them all back into the air fryer (no need to place in a single layer this time) for 1 to 2 minutes to warm any that got cold from the first batch.
