AIRFRIER ONION RINGS RECIPE

To make this quick and easy Air-fryer appetiser, DREDGING TECHNIQUE & BREADING is used.

Also one important tip to remember is to use one hand for wet ingredients and the other hand for dry ingredients.

First prep the onions by peeling the skin and cutting the tips off. Wash the onions and wipe it dry.

Cut the onion to about 1 cm thick. You could use a single layer of the onion ring or use two layers if the onions layer is thin.

Arrange the wet ingredients and dry ingredients mixture in a shallow dish.

So what is Dredging? It is a basic cooking process of coating the food with wet ingredient and then further dipping it in dry bread crumbs mixture before frying. The whole idea of dredging & breading the onion into wet mix and then dry mix is to achieve a nice brown crunchy coating.

Arrange 4 or 5 Onion Rings in the air fryer basket and air fry for 8- 10 minutes, shaking once in between.

Remove the golden brown airfryer keto onion rings on paper towels. Serve hot with a dipping sauce like boom boom sauce or bang bang sauce.

Perfect Onion Rings can be made for all types of diet with really simple substitutions.

Use plant based milk like Almond Milk, Cashew Milk or even Soy Milk instead of regular milk.

Use Almond Flour or Oats Flour instead of Plain Flour. I have made Air-fryer delicacies using alternate flours as well and our family loved it.

Avocado Oil and EVO instead of Cooking Oil where ever needed.

Remember to ensure Panko Crumbs are Vegan !

MY ONION RINGS ARE NOT CRISPY AFTER A FEW HOURS?

There is absolutely nothing worry in this case. Just remember to pop the air fried onion rings back in to the air fryer and fry for 2 minutes. They will restore the crispy-ness and serve them hot with chai.
