Air fryer onion rings

Here’s a simple, crispy air fryer onion rings recipe 🍽️
(No deep frying, quick, and teen-friendly.)

Ingredients

• 1 large onion (yellow or white)
• ½ cup flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 tsp paprika (optional)
• 2 eggs
• ¾–1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best)
• Cooking spray or a little oil

Instructions

1. Prep the onion
   • Slice the onion into rings and separate them.
2. Set up breading stations
   • Bowl 1: flour + salt, pepper, paprika
   • Bowl 2: beaten eggs
   • Bowl 3: breadcrumbs
3. Coat the rings
   • Dip each ring in flour
   • Then egg
   • Then breadcrumbs
   • Press gently so the coating sticks.
4. Air fry
   • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
   • Spray the basket lightly with oil.
   • Place onion rings in a single layer (don’t stack).
   • Spray tops lightly with oil.
   • Cook 8–10 minutes, flip halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Serve
   • Sprinkle with a little salt.
   • Great with ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard.

Tips

• Want extra crispy? Double-dip in egg and breadcrumbs.
• No eggs? Use milk instead.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if needed.
