Directions
- 1Cut a large sweet onion into 1/2-inch thick slices, remove the papery skin, and separate the layers into rings.
- 2In the first bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt, then mix.
- 3In the second bowl, whisk two large eggs and add 2/3 cup of buttermilk, mixing until combined.
- 4In the third bowl, add about two cups of Panko breadcrumbs and two tablespoons of olive oil, then mix with your hands until combined.
- 5Dredge each onion ring by first dipping it into the flour mixture, then the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour mixture, shaking off excess each time.
- 6Dip the onion ring back into the buttermilk mixture, then into the Panko mixture, pressing it down to cover thoroughly.
- 7Place the breaded onion ring onto a baking sheet and repeat the dredging process for all desired rings.
- 8Set your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and 12 minutes.
- 9Spray the air fryer basket and carefully transfer the onion rings into it, doing an optional spritz on top for extra crunch.
- 10Air fry for 12 minutes, flipping the onion rings over at the six-minute mark and optionally spraying with more oil for extra golden results.
- 11Once done, serve immediately and enjoy with a dip if desired.

Tips
- Use any spices you enjoy in the flour mixture, such as onion powder, garlic powder, or chili powder.
- Drizzle olive oil into the Panko breadcrumbs and mix with hands to help them become golden and delicious.
- When dredging, expect your hands to get battered; it's worth it.
- For extra crunchy and golden onion rings, spritz with oil before air frying and when flipping.
- If you air fry frequently, consider having two air fryers for quicker cooking.
