Air Fryer Sweet Onion Rings
1 large Vidalia onion
2 cups buttermilk, or 2 cups milk with 2 teaspoon white vinegar
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups fine ground corn meal
4 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons garlic salt
5 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
Slice the onion about ¼” thick. Separate the rings of the onion and soak in the
buttermilk for a minimum of 1 hour. Mix 3 cups of flour with garlic salt and pepper in
one large bowl. Using another large bowl, mix remaining 2 cups of flour, corn meal
and seasoned salt. After the onions have soaked, lay them on paper towels, as close
to a single layer as possible, let them drain and pat dry. Add the eggs to the milk mix-
ture, stir. Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees. Set up a 3 part station, start with the
flour mixture, then egg-milk, then flour-corn meal mixture. Dip the onions in each one,
shaking off excess before going into the next mixture. When you have all of the onion
pieces coated, add them to the Air Fryer and set the timer for 5 minutes. When the
timer goes off, use a fork to stir them around, breaking up any clumps, set for 5 more
minutes and stir again. Set for 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
