- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup regular breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp paprika

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 – Prep the Onions
Peel and slice onions into ½-inch rings. Separate the layers gently.
Step 2 – Set Up Dredging Station
- Bowl 1: Flour
- Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs + paprika + garlic powder + salt + pepper
Dip each onion ring into flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press lightly so the coating sticks.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange rings in a single layer in the basket. Spray lightly with oil.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
