Ingredients
  

  • 3 large sweet onions
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional or to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • Cooking spray or oil mister

Instructions
 

  • Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Gently separate them into individual rings.

  • Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: In the first, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. In the second, whisk together the eggs. In the third, add the panko crumbs.

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Working in batches, dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, coating all sides. Shake off any excess.

  • Next, dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. For extra-crispy rings, repeat the egg and panko steps a second time.
  • Arrange the coated rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.

  • Air-fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  • Transfer cooked onion rings to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batches.
  • Season with additional salt if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
