- Prep the onion:
Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Separate them gently and set aside. - Set up your breading station:
- In one bowl: flour, salt, pepper
- In a second bowl: beaten eggs
- In a third bowl: mix of panko, regular breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika
- Coat the rings:
- Dip each onion ring in flour, then egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
- Make sure it’s fully coated for max crispiness!
- Air fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
