Instructions

• Peel the onion and cut it into ½-inch thick slices. Separate the slices and place them on a plate. Set them aside.

• In a wide, shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the buttermilk until well combined. In a second bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the panko bread crumbs in a third bowl.

• Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the buttermilk mixture, and then dredge it through the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Set them aside on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining rings. Spray the rings with a little oil.

• Preheat the air fryer to 380 °F.

• Transfer the rings into the air fryer basket in a single layer, nesting the smaller ones inside the larger ones but leaving a little space between each ring.

• Air fry them for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
