Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Slice the Onions. Peel and slice onions into thin rings, aiming for about ¼ inch thickness.
  2. Step 2: Set Up Your Coating Station. Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with your breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Step 3: Coat the Onion Rings. Dip each onion ring in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes for maximum crispiness.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the Onion Rings in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding and lightly spraying with olive oil.
  6. Step 6: Air Fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  7. Step 7: Cool on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, and serve immediately.
