Analysis:
The cooking time for air frying onion rings can vary depending on the thickness of the onion rings, the temperature setting of the air fryer, and personal preference for crispiness.
Steps:
1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the onion rings by dipping them in a batter of your choice or coating them with breadcrumbs.
3. Place the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
4. Air fry the onion rings at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking process for even crispiness.
5. Check the onion rings towards the end of the cooking time to ensure they are golden brown and crispy to your liking. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.
