Instructions

Gather everything you need, onions, almond flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Prepare the onions for slicing; even rings are important for consistent cooking. Preheat your air fryer so it’s ready when you finish prepping.
In one bowl, mix the almond flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten for a smooth, wet coating. These will give your onion rings that perfect crunch.
For the best crispy onion rings, make sure to separate them before coating. This helps each ring get an even layer of seasoning and breading, preventing clumps. It makes for a perfectly crunchy bite.
Dip each onion ring into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dip it into the dry coating mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks well. Repeat for all the onion rings, giving each one a solid layer of wet and dry coatings.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with EVO oil to prevent sticking and preheat it to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius). Arrange the onion rings in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for even crisping. Air fry for 8 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
After 8 minutes, carefully flip each onion ring with tongs for even cooking on both sides. Continue air frying for another 5 minutes at the same temperature until they’re golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Choose the Right Onion: For the perfect onion rings, go for a medium, sweet onion like a yellow onion. These tend to create tender, mild rings that hold up well when coated and cooked.
Double Coat for Extra Crunch: For extra crispy onion rings, dip them in the egg mixture, coat them in the breadcrumbs, and then dip and coat again. This double coating ensures a thicker, crunchier texture.
Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer ensures even cooking from the start. It helps get the onion rings crispy and golden without overcooking them.
