Air Fryer Paleo Onion Rings
Air-fried onion rings are a healthier alternative to deep-fried onion rings, and they're just as crispy and delicious. The key to making great air-fried onion rings is to use a light coating of almond flour and tapioca flour, which will help them to crisp up without getting greasy. Be sure to Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit so that the onion rings can cook evenly. And don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the onion rings will steam instead of crisp.
Onion rings are a classic carnival food, but they're not exactly the healthiest option. They're usually breaded and deep-fried, which makes them high in calories and fat. But what if you could enjoy the crispy, savory flavor of onion rings without all the guilt? That's where air-fried onion rings come in.
