Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients, slice onions into thick, even rings, and preheat the air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius).
  • Mix almond flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in one bowl; whisk eggs in another.
  • Dip each onion ring into the egg, then press into the dry mixture until evenly coated.
  • Lightly oil the air fryer basket, arrange rings in a single layer, and air fry for 8 minutes.
  • Flip the onion rings and air fry for another 5 minutes at 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) until golden and crispy, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Double dip for extra crunch: Dip your onions into the batter, then coat them with breadcrumbs or panko for an extra layer of crunch.
  • Season your breadings: Add a bit of salt, pepper, or even a dash of cayenne to the flour for an extra boost of flavor.
  • Use a mix of oils: For a perfectly golden fry, try mixing vegetable oil with a little bit of olive oil for flavor.
  • Let the rings rest: After coating, let your onion rings sit for a few minutes before frying to help the batter set and avoid it falling off.
