Steps

  1. 1

    Peel the onion and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings, separating them.

  2. 2

    Set up a dredging station: one shallow dish with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Dip each onion ring first in flour, shaking off excess, then in egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil.

  5. 5

    Arrange onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Spray the tops of the rings with olive oil.

  6. 6

    Air fry for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again, until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
