<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Peel your onions and slice them into 1cm thick rounds, then carefully separate into individual rings, discarding the smallest inner rings. Pat the onion rings completely dry with kitchen paper - this is crucial for the coating to stick properly. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Working with one onion ring at a time, dredge first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off for 3-4 seconds. Finally, press firmly into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage on both sides. Place coated rings on a plate and repeat until all rings are coated.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange onion rings in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don't overlap - you may need to cook in 2 batches depending on your air fryer size.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Cook for 6 minutes, then carefully flip each ring using tongs and spray lightly with olive oil. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. The coating should be deep golden and sound hollow when tapped gently.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Remove immediately and serve hot while the coating is at its crispiest. If cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm in a low oven at 60°C while preparing the second batch.</li></ol>
FAQ for
Air Fryer Onion Rings Recipe
What temperature should I set my air fryer for crispy onion rings?
Set your air fryer to 356°F (180°C) for perfectly crispy onion rings. This temperature creates a golden, crunchy coating while keeping the onions tender inside without burning.
How do you get the coating to stick properly on air fryer onion rings?
Pat onions completely dry before coating and use the three-step process: flour, beaten egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs. Press firmly into each coating layer for best adhesion.
Can you make onion rings in a small air fryer?
Yes, but you'll need to cook in batches. Use a 4L minimum capacity air fryer and avoid overcrowding. Keep the first batch warm in a low oven while cooking the second batch.
Why do my air fryer onion rings turn out soggy instead of crispy?
Soggy rings usually result from wet onions or overcrowding. Always pat onions dry, don't overlap rings in the basket, and spray lightly with oil before and during cooking.
How long do homemade air fryer onion rings stay crispy?
Air fryer onion rings stay crispy for 2-3 hours when stored uncovered at room temperature. For best results, serve immediately while the coating is at peak crispiness.
