Why make Onion Rings in the air Fryer
Traditionally onion rings are deep fried. Here is why you have to air fry them.
- The Air Fryer version is guiltfree and healthy compared to the traditional stovetop deep fry method.
- No Oil waste in the air fryer method. We just need little oil to brush the onion rings and air fryer basket.
- If you are cooking a small batch for the kid's snack box or lunch box then the air fryer method comes in handy and messfree.
Stove Top Method
If you do not have an air fryer and wonder how to cook onion rings then you can definitely opt for the stovetop method. Follow the instructions and prepare the breaded onion rings. Freeze for 30 mins so that the bread crumbs are intact.
Heat a deep pan with oil for frying. Once the oil is hot drop in the onions rings and cook on a medium flame until golden and crispy.
Ingredients
Onion - We can use White or Red Onions to get the rings.
Panko Bread crumbs - They give a crispy finish to the onion rings so I prefer panko bread crumbs over normal bread crumbs.
Egg - Egg wash helps in holding the bread crumbs to the onion rings.
Corn Flour - Helps in a smooth ring. We can also use all-purpose flour.
Flavors - I am adding garlic powder, onion powder, and salt for taste. You may use it as you prefer.
How to make Air fryer Onions Ring
In a shallow bowl add the panko bread crumbs.
To this add garlic powder, onion powder, and the required salt. Combine and set aside.
In another bowl add the corn flour. In another shallow bowl break open 2 room temperature eggs. Beat well until they are fluffy.
Peel the skin from the onions and slice them to get the onion rings.
Dip the onion ring in corn flour. Dust to remove the excess flour.
Dip them into the egg mixture. Drain the excess egg that is dripping.
Coat the egg and flour dipped onion rings in the panko bread crumbs. Makes sure it coats all the sides.
Set aside and repeat the same procedure for all the onion rings.Preheat the air fryer to 200 C or 400 F for 5 mins. Brush or spray oil in the air fryer baskets. Arrange the breaded onion rings in the basket without touching each other.
Air fry at 200 C or 400 F for 4 mins. Flip the onion rings and then air fry at 180 C or 356 F for 3 mins.
Crispy air fryer onion rings are now ready.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Goes well with any dipping sauce. I like to mix ½ cup mayonnaise with 2 tbsp ketchup. else you can use plain mayo or even Ranch.
Storage Options
You may freeze the breaded onion rings for up to 2 months. After breading freeze them in the trays for 2 hours. after that, you may store them in zip lock bags. While Using you may directly cook the frozen onion rings in the air fryer.
However, the air frying time varies. Air fry at 180 C or 356 F for 5 mins each (Totally 10 mins) on both sides.
