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!
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion
- ½ cup flour gluten-free or all purpose
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- 1 ¼ tsp. salt tot aste
- 1 egg large
- ⅓ cup milk cashew or almond milk
- 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs gluten-free
- 2 Tbsp. oil
Instructions

Trim ends from onion and remove the outer peel. Cut onion into rings about ½-inch thick.

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.
-
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.
