Notes
For extra crispy results, make sure to soak the onions in water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Use a light hand when spraying oil to prevent the onions from becoming too greasy.
For the best texture, make sure the onion rings are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
You can substitute regular flour with gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
If you prefer, you can add a dash of cayenne pepper or paprika to the seasoning mix for a little extra kick.
