This bar food favorite gets lightened up by way of the air fryer. Skip the heavy breading without skipping the flavor in this simple, delicious recipe that yields some seriously crispy results.
Peel onions and remove top and bottom. Cut the onions width wide to create 1/2 inch thick slices. Break up the rings.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika and stir together.
In a small bowl, mix milk and vinegar. Add beaten eggs and 2 tbsp of the flour mixture and stir together so no clumps remain.
Prepare air fryer tray, spraying well with cooking spray so your rings don't stick.
To create your rings, first dip each onion ring in flour, then the egg mixture, then the flour mixture again. Shake off any excess flour and place rings on air fryer tray, making sure none are touching/overlapping.
Spray generously with cooking spray (so you don't see any loose flour) and fry at 370 for 10-12 minutes, flipping them half way. *Note: If you have a tray style air fryer, you can skip the flip and they'll be fine. When they're golden brown, they're done! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
