Why This Recipe is Awesome

They’re perfect as a snack, a side dish, or even your new obsession. Did I mention they’re lighter on the waistline? Double win!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s the lowdown on what you need to create your crispy onion masterpiece. No fancy ingredients here, just simple stuff you can find in your pantry or snag at the store:
- 2 gros oignons jaunes (the more, the merrier, right?)
- 80 g de farine (because everything should be coated in some flour)
- 60 g de chapelure (for that epic crunch)
- 1 œuf battu (the binding glue of our crispy dreams)
- 1 cuillère à soupe d’huile d’olive (trust me, your taste buds will thank you)
- 1 c. à café de paprika (a little spice never hurt anyone)
- 1 c. à café d’ail en poudre (instant flavor explosion)
- Sel et poivre selon les goûts (because seasoning is key yo)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Alright, let’s get our hands dirty. Follow these simple steps for crispy perfection.
Éplucher et couper les oignons
- Je commence par éplucher les oignons, puis je coupe les oignons en rondelles d’oignons épaisses. L’astuce ici est de ne pas faire des tranches trop fines, pour ne pas qu’elles brûlent à la cuisson. Tip: Pour obtenir des oignons frits croustillants, je sépare délicatement les rondelles avec les doigts.
Préparer les enrobages
- Dans un bol, je mélange la farine, le sel, le poivre, le paprika et l’ail en poudre. Dans un autre bol, je bats l’œuf, et dans un troisième, je verse la chapelure. Chaque rondelle est alors trempée dans le mélange sec, puis dans l’œuf, puis à nouveau dans la chapelure. Cette triple couche rend les oignons ultra croustillants !
Déposer les oignons dans le panier
- Je dépose les oignons panés dans le panier de l’air fryer, puis je les saupoudre légèrement d’huile (quantité d’huile : environ 1 c. à soupe).

Common Mistakes to Avoid
First things first—do not skip the three-step coating process. Trust me, no one wants sad, naked onion rings. Also, don’t slice those onions too thin. Nobody wants burnt rings of despair. And about that air fryer—make sure to preheat it! Thinking you can just toss everything in and expect goodies? Rookie mistake. Lastly, resist the urge to overload the basket. Give those onion rings room to breathe; you want crispy, not soggy.
Alternatives & Substitutions
Maybe you’re out of paprika. No biggie! You can totally swap it for some chili powder if you’re feeling spicy. Or if you’re out of breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes work surprisingly well too. Looking for a gluten-free option? Just swap the flour with your favorite gluten-free blend. The world is your oyster—or in this case, your onion. Be creative!
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use frozen onions?
Well, technically yes, but where’s the fun in that? Fresh onions give so much more flavor, and they’re basically begging to be fried.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can bake them, but let’s not kid ourselves. They won’t be quite as crispy. Might I suggest getting an air fryer? They’re a game-changer!
Do I really need to separate the onion rings?
Oh absolutely! If you want to serve up a plate of sad, glued-together onions, go ahead. Otherwise, separate them and let them shine.
Can I double the recipe?
Of course! Just remember to work in batches because no one likes soggy onions.
What should I dip them in?
Oh, the possibilities are endless! You could go classic with ranch or get adventurous with a spicy mayo. You do you!

Final Thoughts
Now go impress someone—or yourself—with your new culinary skills. You’ve earned it! Whether you gobble these up on your own or share them with friends, they’ll never know how easy they were to make. And who knows—you might just make these crispy oignons the star of your next snack session or dinner party. Bon appétit!
