Best 4 Air Fryer Onion Rings With Onion Dip Recipes

AIR FRYER ONION RINGS WITH ONION DIP

Steps:

• For the onion rings: Separate the onion rings, place in a shallow dish with the buttermilk and soak for 5 minutes.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Set out three shallow bowls for dredging. Whisk the potato flakes, ground chipotle and 1/2 teaspoon salt in one bowl. Whisk the egg, 2 tablespoons water and a little salt together in another bowl. Mix the panko, dried chives if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in the third bowl.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer lightly with cooking spray. Drain the buttermilk from the onions; reserve 1/3 cup of the buttermilk for making the raw onion dip.
• Dip each ring one at a time in the potato flake mixture, then in the egg mixture and finally in the panko mixture. Working in batches, put the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Cook until golden and crisp all over, about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked rings to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining rings.
• For the raw onion dip: Stir the red onion, the buttermilk reserved from the onion rings, the sour cream, scallions, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lemon zest together in a large bowl until completely combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes for the flavors to blend. Garnish with the dried chives. Serve immediately with the hot onion rings or refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.

AIR FRYER ONION RINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 200 F.
• Cut off both ends of the onions and peel off the skin.
• Slice the onions into thick rings.
• Carefully separate the rings from each other. Save the innermost rings for another recipe. If the rings break, you can still use them.
• Prepare the 3 dredging bowls. Put the flour in 1 shallow bowl. Beat the eggs and milk in another shallow bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a third shallow bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt, then divide the mixture evenly among the 3 bowls. Whisk each bowl to disperse the seasonings.
• Dip the onion rings in the flour first. Completely coat both sides of the rings and the inner portion.
• Dip the flour-coated rings into the egg mixture. Make sure to completely coat them with the egg so you cannot see any of the flour. You may need to flip the rings a few times.
• Dip the rings in the breadcrumb mixture. To thoroughly coat them, use your fingers to press the breadcrumbs onto the rings.
• Generously spray the inside of the air fryer with cooking spray. Carefully place a single layer of the onion rings into the air fryer and spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook on 375 F for 10 minutes, flipping each ring halfway through the cooking time.
• Transfer the first batch to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Cook the second batch of rings. Serve with creamy dipping sauce , honey mustard , and ketchup if desired.

AIR-FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip onion rings into the flour mixture until coated; set aside.
• Whisk milk and egg into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat. Place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs and scoop the crumbs over the rings to coat evenly. Give rings a hard tap as you remove them from the crumbs; the coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
• Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Place rings side by side in the frying basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Flip rings and place basket in the air fryer. Cook until rings are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip once halfway through. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika.

AIR FRYER BBQ ONION RINGS

Steps:

• 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.
