Onion rings have been a popular pub food in the United States since the early 20th century. The first recorded recipe for beer battered onion rings was published in a cookbook in 1933. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that onion rings became a staple on menus across the country. In recent years, air fryers have become a popular kitchen appliance for making healthier versions of fried foods, including onion rings.

Ingredients

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer and egg.
- Dip each onion slice into the flour mixture, then into the beer batter, and then back into the flour mixture. Make sure the onion is fully coated.
