Description

These Air Fryer Mini Onion Rings are the ultimate crunchy, golden snack! Ready in just 10 minutes, they’re healthier than deep-fried versions, incredibly easy to make, and perfect for dipping, stacking, or snacking any time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced into ½-inch rings

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1¼ cups panko bread crumbs

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Heaping ½ tsp sea salt

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

  • Tartar sauce, optional for dipping


Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F.

  2. Slice the onion into ½-inch rings and separate into smaller rings.

  3. In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix panko, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt.

  4. Dredge each onion ring in flour, then egg, then the seasoned panko mixture.

  5. Arrange onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly drizzle or spray with olive oil.

  6. Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

  7. Repeat with remaining rings. Reheat all batches for 1–2 minutes before serving if desired.

Notes

For extra crisp, chill onions before breading.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer—cook in batches.

Serve hot with tartar sauce, ranch, or your favorite dip.
