How to Make Air Fried Onion Rings
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large egg whites until slightly frothy.
- Gently separate large yellow onion into rings, separating individual rings. Discard the very center if too small.
- Dip each onion ring into the egg whites, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Dredge the egg-coated onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the breaded onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
- Lightly spray the onion rings with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) on the 'french fry' or equivalent setting for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your healthier, crispier onion rings!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
