Cottage Cheese Onion Ring Air Fryer

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, place the flour, and in another bowl, put the breadcrumbs.
4. Take an onion ring, dip it in the flour to coat evenly, then dip it into the cottage cheese mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Place the coated onion rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap.
6. Spray the coated onion rings lightly with olive oil spray for extra crispiness.
7. Cook in the air fryer for about 10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
8. Once cooked, remove the onion rings and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Chef’s Tips

• For a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper to the cottage cheese mixture.
• Experiment with different seasoning in the breadcrumbs, like Italian herbs or parmesan cheese for added flavor!
• Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer for the best crispiness; cook in batches if necessary.
