This same method can actually be used for a variety of foods like zucchini, squash, green tomatoes, and more. If you want that breaded taste, try this method.
We make ours with gluten-free all-purpose flour, but you can easily make these with regular flour too if you prefer.
It will work and taste fabulous!
It’s very easy to make onion rings in the air fryer.
Now, let’s get to these Air Fryer Onion Rings!
What do you need for Air Fryer Onion Rings?
- Air Fryer
- White Onion
- Buttermilk
- Breadcrumbs or Gluten Free Breadcrumbs
- Flour
- Eggs
- Salt
- Cooking Spray
- Foil
That’s all you need for the best Air Fryer Onion Rings. The main thing is that you really need to slice the onions as you would expect onion rings to be sized, then soak them well in the buttermilk.
This really enhances the flavor, plus the way the breading adheres to it.
I also like to foil line my Air Fryer just to help avoid a mess after. I used a Midea 3.7L to make these and did it in 3 batches for 1 large White Onion.
This is a great size for a family of 4; however, I would definitely suggest a larger one if you cook more like I do. I typically do recipes for at least 6, so larger would be better.
I’m hoping to upgrade to a larger one soon too.
