An air fryer turns breaded, battered onion rings crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside with zero greasy spatter. The ranch-style dip is made with kefir, a tangy, unsweetened fermented dairy product (often sold as a drink) that’s high in protein and packs a probiotic boost. The dip doubles as a dressing for veggies, so feel free to make extra for your salads.
