These air fryer onion rings are better for you than their deep-fried counterparts! They're battered and breaded, then air-fried to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large onion, cut into rings

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup bread crumbs

  • cooking spray

  • 2 pinches garlic powder

  • 2 pinches paprika

Directions

  1. Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip onion rings into the flour mixture until coated, then place onto a plate.

  2. Stir milk and egg into the remaining flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat. Place onto a wire rack until the batter stops dripping.

  3. Place bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Place rings, one at a time, into bread crumbs, scooping crumbs over the top until evenly coated. Give rings a hard tap as you remove them from the crumbs; the coating should cling very well.

  4. Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place rings into the air fryer basket so they are side-by-side without overlapping; spray lightly with cooking spray, then flip rings.

  5. Place the basket into the air fryer and cook until rings are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika.
