Onion rings, when prepared in a health-conscious manner, can offer certain nutritional benefits. Onions, the primary ingredient, contain antioxidants and compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties. They are a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as folate and dietary fiber, promoting immune function and digestive health. When air-fried instead of deep-fried, onion rings can be lower in unhealthy fats, contributing to heart health. However, it's important to note that the overall health benefits may vary depending on the cooking method and accompanying ingredients.

Coat the Onion Rings:
