Air Fryer Onion Rings

Air Fryer Onion Rings

Onion rings may be heavenly, but they're also deep-fried in oil, which tends to double the calories of what was once an extremely healthy vegetable. However, these air fryer onion rings forego the oil and maintain their crispness. These crispy onion rings are perfect for a quiet night in with all the pleasure of eating out, with none of the guilt.

  1. Arrange the flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate bowls. Combine the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
