Notes
- For added crunch, try mixing grated Parmesan cheese into the panko coating before applying to the onion rings.
- Enhance the flavor by incorporating a touch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper into the seasoning blend.
- Preheat the air fryer before cooking to ensure even cooking and crispy onion rings.
