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.
