Air Fryer Cheesy Onion Rings
My kids have been asking for me to make cheesy onion rings for a while, but I’ve put it off because it’s not the healthiest. Eventually I decided to make it healthier by cooking them in the air fryer and eliminating a lot of the oil and fat. The Air Fryer Cheesy Onion Rings came out crispy and delicious. The recipe was also simple and actually fun to make.
