Due to the oily aftertaste of onion rings, I struggled for years to tolerate them. Years later, I can now enjoy onion rings once more thanks to an air fryer!

| Yield: | 2 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons grill seasoning
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice onion into 3/4-inch thick rings.
- Set up a breading station: Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Whisk together egg and milk in a second shallow bowl until light yellow and frothy. Combine panko, 2 tablespoons flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bbq rub in a third shallow bowl.
- Dip the onion rings in the flour mixture and coat thoroughly. Next, dip onion rings into egg mixture, ensuring each ring is completely coated. Finally, dip each ring into panko mixture, pressing firming to adhere.
- Place onion rings on a baking sheet and spray each one with nonstick spray. Place in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 5 minutes, turn onion rings, and cook an additional 5 minutes on the other side. Serve immediately.
- I buy my seasonings from Savory Spice Shop(R). Feel free to substitute but keep in mind your substitute will make a difference.
- You can use a homemade bbq rub as well, like “BBQ Spice Rub” from this site.
