Transforming classic onion rings into lighter, more addictive chips with an unparalleled, delicate crispness. Easy to make for everyday snacking or elegant appetizers, delivering savory, slightly sweet flavor with a revolutionary crispness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 medium yellow onions
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 large onions into ⅛ to ¼ inch thick rings. Separate rings. For milder flavor, soak in ice water for 15-30 minutes, then drain thoroughly and pat very dry.
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: 1) Dry flour mix: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup cornstarch, 1 tsp sea salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, 0.25 tsp cayenne (optional). Whisk well. 2) Egg wash: 2 large eggs, 0.5 cup milk, whisked. 3) Seasoned panko: 3 cups panko breadcrumbs, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp sea salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Working in batches, dredge onion rings: first in the seasoned flour mix (shake off excess), then in the egg wash (let excess drip), then press firmly into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs to ensure a thick, even coating. Place coated rings in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly into an air fryer basket; do not overcrowd.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly mist coated onion chips with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until gloriously golden brown and wonderfully crispy. Keep a close eye as oven temperatures vary.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place coated onion chips in a single layer, lightly mist with cooking spray or oil. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping halfway, until beautifully golden, crisp, and irresistible. Cooking times may vary by air fryer model and ring thickness.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly for maximum crispness. While still warm, sprinkle with extra sea salt to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces (e.g., ketchup, spicy mayo, ranch dressing, or a homemade aioli).
