→ Main Ingredients
07 -
1 large yellow onion, cut into ½-inch thick rings
08 -
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
09 -
Tartar sauce for serving (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a rimmed baking sheet and combine the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and whisk them until smooth. Put the flour in a separate small bowl. Line up all three stations so you're ready to go.
02 -
Preheat your air fryer to 370°F while you prepare the onion rings.
03 -
Take each onion ring and dredge it through the flour first, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting the extra drip off. Finally, press it into the panko mixture until it's completely coated on all sides. Set the breaded rings on a plate as you work through the batch.
04 -
Lightly drizzle the breaded onion rings with olive oil. Arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they're not touching or overlapping. Cook for 8 to 11 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. You'll likely need to work in batches depending on your air fryer size. Serve hot with tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
These crispy air-fried onion rings make an amazing appetizer or game day snack that everyone will love. They're perfectly crunchy on the outside while staying tender and sweet on the inside.

Pro tip: Once you've cooked all the batches, toss all the rings back into the air fryer together for 1 to 2 minutes. This warms up any from the first batch that may have cooled down while you finished the rest.
