Steps:
- Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip onion rings into the flour mixture until coated; set aside.
- Whisk milk and egg into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat. Place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
- Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs and scoop the crumbs over the rings to coat evenly. Give rings a hard tap as you remove them from the crumbs; the coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
- Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Place rings side by side in the frying basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Flip rings and place basket in the air fryer. Cook until rings are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip once halfway through. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika.

Air Fryer Onion Rings Recipe by Tasty Recipes
Onion rings are a classic appetizer or side dish that many people love. However, deep-frying them can be messy and unhealthy. Enter the air fryer – a kitchen gadget that can create crispy and delicious onion rings without all the excess oil.
What is an air fryer?
An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air to cook food. It works by circulating hot air around the food, much like a convection oven, but in a much smaller space. The result is crispy and evenly cooked food, without all the added oil and fat that comes with traditional deep frying.
How to make air fryer onion rings
To make air fryer onion rings, you will need:
- 1 large onion
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 tsp of paprika
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 1/2 cups of panko bread crumbs
- Cooking spray or oil
Begin by slicing the onion into thick rings, and separating them into individual pieces. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Finally, place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip the onion ring into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, dip the onion ring into the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to make sure the breadcrumbs stick.
Spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray, or brush with oil. Place the onion rings in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping the onion rings halfway through. You may need to cook in batches if your air fryer is small.
Tips for making crispy onion rings
Here are some tips to ensure your air fryer onion rings come out crispy and delicious:
- Use panko breadcrumbs – regular breadcrumbs will not create the same level of crispiness
- Make sure you are using enough oil or cooking spray – this will help the onion rings brown and become crispy
- Cook in batches if necessary – overcrowding the air fryer basket will result in less crispy onion rings
- Flip halfway through cooking – this will ensure both sides of the onion rings get crispy and evenly cooked
Conclusion
Air fryer onion rings are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried onion rings. Using an air fryer allows you to create the perfect crispy texture without all the added oil and fat. With a few simple ingredients and some tips for cooking, you can easily make these tasty treats at home.
