  4. In a second bowl, add the milk and beat in the eggs.

  6. In a small mixing bowl, shake together the paprika, garlic powder and salt. then divide and stir the mixture evenly among the 2 bowls and tray.
  7. Dip the onion rings in the flour first, making sure each ring is fully coated.

  9. Next comes the breadcrumbs. Make sure the rings are coated as thoroughly as possible for maximum flavour.
  10. Generously spray the inside of the air fryer with your chosen cooking oil. Place the onion rings into the air fryer and spray the tops with some more oil.
