Ingredients 

  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 32 oz. guacamole
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Slice onion crosswise in ½" sections to make rings. Separate the nested rings of each slice. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread onion rings onto the sheet pan.
  • Fill each onion ring with 2-3 tablespoons of guacamole. Spread the guacamole smooth under the top edge of each round.
  • Place the sheet pan with filled onion rings into the freezer and freeze for about 1 hour until the guacamole is solid.
  • Prepare a standard dredging station.
  • Combine the flour, pepper, chili powder, and salt in a shallow bowl.
  • Beat together the buttermilk and eggs in a second shallow bowl.
  • Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dip each frozen onion ring into the flour mixture, coat with the egg mixture, and cover with the panko.
  • Air Fryer Guacamole Stuffed Onion RingsSpray the bottom of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the coated onion rings in the air fryer's basket and spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cook at 360°F for 12-14 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and crispy. You can flip the onion rings halfway through cooking for a more evenly browned coating, but this can be a bit tedious as the guacamole heats and softens. The onion rings will cook through without flipping them.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

  • Serve with sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. 
  • Onion rings are best eaten just after cooled while still crispy. 
  • You can coat some of the extra onion rings with the same flour-egg-panko mixture and cook them also. 
  • I sprayed the onion rings frequently while cooking with nonstick cooking spray - when I opened the basket to check them, I’d give them a quick spray to help with the crisping and browning.
