Air Fryer Onion Rings

Crispy onion rings without the deep fryer? Yes, please. The air fryer delivers that satisfying crunch with a fraction of the oil — and they're ready in 15 minutes flat.

Ingredients

• 2 large brown onions, sliced into 1cm rings
• ½ cup plain flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil spray

Method

1. Separate onion slices into rings. Set up a crumbing station: flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third.
2. Coat each ring in flour, dip in egg, then press firmly into the panko mixture.
3. Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Arrange rings in a single layer — cook in batches if needed.
4. Spray lightly with olive oil. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Season with extra salt and serve immediately.

Serve with aioli, tomato sauce, or a smoky chipotle dip.
