Ingredients

2 large onions
2 large eggs

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 190C/375F. Slice the onions into rings about 1/4 inch thick.
In one bowl, place the flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well. n a second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, add the panko bread crumbs.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off the excess, dip it in the egg mixture, then dip it in the panko bread crumbs.
Place the breaded onions in the air fryer and air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

TO STORE: Place leftover onion rings in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

TO FREEZE: Place the cooled onion rings in a shallow container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

TO REHEAT: Pop them in your preheated air fryer until warm. Frozen onion rings don’t need to be thawed first–just increase the cooking time.

Variations

Look for Walla Walla onions. I wasn’t able to find these in Australia, but if you live in the States, keep your eye out for Walla Walla sweet onions. They’re sweet enough to eat like an apple!
Switch up the seasoning. Try cayenne pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like honey mustard, ranch dressing, or ketchup.
