- Spray the onion rings with cooking spray.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place the baking rack(s) in the air fryer. If utilizing an Air Fryer Oven bake for 7 minutes and then swap racks. Bake for an additional 7 minutes, until golden brown. If utilizing a regular air fryer bake for 15 minutes. Repeat as needed if cooking in batches. (*Note 2)
Notes
- White or yellow onions work best.
- Many standard air fryers don't hold a ton of food. You'll need to cook in batches if the rings don't all fit without overlapping.
- Dip these babies in a sugar free BBQ sauce or Keto Ranch Dressing.
