Air Fryer Onion Rings

Watching a movie or having tea without any snacks is probably an idea that no one on this planet supports.

Everyone loves snacks, but no one wants to cook them as it is quite a time-consuming process to make some delicious snacks.

However, air fryer onion rings are one of those snacks that can be made within a few minutes and will introduce you to a new variety of onion rings as well.

Why Cook Onion Rings in the Air Fryer Instead of Deep Frying Them in a Pan?

When you deep fry the onion rings in a pan of hot oil, it will quickly fry the outer coating and make it crispier. While the onion ring inside will remain undercooked or soggy. Therefore, it is always suggested to use the air fryer for cooking onion rings to make them crispier altogether by drying their water. Moreover, it also makes them healthier as the onion rings retain no oil.

How to Cut Onions for Air Fryer Onion Rings?

Take a peeled onion and cut it into thin slices using a sharp knife. Make sure that the thickness should never be more than ¼ inches. If you cut the thick slices, it will result in soggy onion rings. After slicing them, separate the layers to get the rings.

How to Make Onion Rings in an Air Fryer?
