Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large onions Peeled and sliced into rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular) Panko breadcrumbs will yield a crispier result
- 2 large eggs Beaten
- as needed cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them into about 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
- Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl, preparing for coating the onion rings.
Coating
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Press gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or brush it with a little oil.
- Arrange the coated onion rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the onion rings for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the onion rings from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes
For best results, use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Experiment with different spices in the flour mixture to customize flavor. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking.
