Slice the onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Soak the onion rings in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each ring in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray.
Place the breaded onion rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
Spray the tops of the onion rings with cooking oil spray.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the onion rings from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy!
