Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion cut into rings
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Get two shallow bowls (we use pie plates). In the first one combine flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt. Dredge the onion rings through the mixture and set aside. Add the beer and egg and stir together using a whisk. Dredge the onion rings in the mixture making sure it is fully coated. Set on a wire rack that is over a cookie sheet and let the excess mixture drain. In the second pie plate combine the breadcrumbs, pepper and garlic salt. Dredge the onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture covering them fully. Shake excess off and set aside.
  • Heat the air fryer to 400° F and place the rings in the air fryer basket that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Do not overlap. Spray the top of the onion rings with cooking spray to help with browning. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side flipping once.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
