Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, cut into rings
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
cooking spray
2 pinches garlic powder
2 pinches paprika

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh Vidalia onions. They have a sweeter flavor than other onions and will hold their shape better when fried.
  • Slice the onions evenly so that they cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will not cook through and if they are too thin, they will burn.
  • Use a light touch when coating the onion rings in the flour mixture. Too much flour will make the onion rings heavy and greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the onion rings from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the onion rings in a single layer. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Flip the onion rings halfway through cooking. This will help them to cook evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer Vidalia onion rings are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. The onion rings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, try making air fryer Vidalia onion rings.
