• 1¼ cups panko bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ heaping teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 yellow onion, sliced into ½-inch rings
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Tartar Sauce, optional, for dipping

Instructions

• On a rimmed tray, mix the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. In a small shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Place the flour in another small bowl.
• Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
• Dip each onion ring into the flour, then tap to remove any excess flour. Dip it in the egg, coat with the panko mixture, and then place on a large plate.

Drizzle the onion rings with olive oil and transfer them right into the air fryer basket in a single layer with a little space between each ring.

Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining onion rings. Serve with tartar sauce, if desired.
