Equipment

Steps

1
Slice onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate into individual rings.
2
Mix seasonings into panko. Set up breading station: flour, eggs, seasoned panko.
3
Coat each ring in flour, dip in egg, press into panko. Double-dip for extra crunch.
4
Spray generously with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until deep golden.
5
Serve immediately with ranch, BBQ sauce, or spicy ketchup.

💡

Tip: Sweet onions are milder and sweeter than yellow onions — they're worth seeking out. Double-dipping in egg and panko makes them extra crunchy. Don't stack them — single layer or they steam.
