½ cup all-purpose flour

Set air fryer to 188°C.

Coat each onion ring in flour, tapping off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat with seasoned panko mixture. Arrange breaded rings on a large plate.

Drizzle onion rings lightly with olive oil. Transfer to air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring space around each ring. Cook in batches as necessary. Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes until golden and crisp.

Avoid crowding the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. Breaded onion rings may be held at room temperature and briefly air fried again to restore heat and texture before serving.
