These air fryer onion rings are such a fun appetizer or game day snack! They're crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and filled with sweet and savory onion flavor.
Ingredient
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
Direction
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.
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
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.
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.
