Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, cut into rings
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
cooking spray
2 pinches garlic powder
2 pinches paprika

Steps:

  • Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip onion rings into the flour mixture until coated; set aside.
  • Whisk milk and egg into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat. Place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
  • Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs and scoop the crumbs over the rings to coat evenly. Give rings a hard tap as you remove them from the crumbs; the coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
  • Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Place rings side by side in the frying basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Flip rings and place basket in the air fryer. Cook until rings are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip once halfway through. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST FRIED VIDALIA ONION RINGS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Several large Vidalia onions
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, separated
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Peanut oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Slice onions into rings. In 1 bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking powder. In another bowl, beat egg yolk, then stir in milk and vegetable oil. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stir until smooth. In a third bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form, then fold into egg-flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Dip onion rings into batter and deep fry.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh Vidalia onions. They are sweeter and have a milder flavor than other onions.
  • Cut the onion rings evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Coat the onion rings in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will help them to crisp up in the air fryer.
  • Spray the onion rings with cooking spray before air frying. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the onion rings at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer Vidalia onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
