- Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, the second with a whisked egg, and the last with breadcrumbs.
- Coat each onion ring by dipping it first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 3–5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer.
- Air fry the onion rings at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping them midway through cooking.
- Transfer the crispy onions to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and allow cooling.
