Air Fryer Onion Rings
Homemade air fryer onion rings are super crispy and crunchy, easy-to-make, and so much healthier for you than deep-fried!
Ingredients
- 1 Large onion
- 1 Cup of flour
- 3/4 Cup sparkling water
- Black pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon paprika
- 1 Cup breadcrumbs
- Dried parsley
Instructions
- Strip the onions of their outermost states and cut them into at least half an inch thick rounds.
- Pull the rings apart from each other by applying gentle pressure while avoiding breaking them.
- Next, prepare the batter. Put the flour, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
Pour cold sparkling water in a trickle, and with a whisk, mix well until a smooth batter forms. - In a second bowl, pour the breadcrumbs and season with salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
- Dip the rings first in the batter, helping with tongs or a fork, then in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to cover the entire onion ring with the breadcrumbs.
- Continue in this way until all the rings are finished.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 2 minutes. Using some spray oil or a kitchen brush, spray or brush the base of the air fryer basket, and place the onion rings in a single layer, being careful not to overlap them.
- Cook in the air fryer at 370°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or until your preferred golden brown.
- Serve this crunchy onion rings hot with a sprinkle of salt and your favorite sauce.
Notes
Pro Tips
- Instead of paprika you can add other spices of your choice.
- Use a cooking spray to better spread the oil.
- If you have to prepare a lot of them do them in small batches
- Always check the cooking, I remind you that very often different brands of air fryer can cook differently.
