Ingredients
  

  • Onion Rings:
  • 2 large sweet onions
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Breading Station:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. Slice onions into ½-inch rings; separate gently.
  2. Soak rings in buttermilk for 20–30 minutes.
  3. Prepare three bowls for flour, buttermilk, and breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat each ring: flour → buttermilk → breadcrumbs.

  6. Spray lightly with oil.
  7. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  8. Season with salt and serve immediately.
