Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Onions Thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Flour For coating the onions
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Oil For spraying the air fryer basket

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by slicing your onions thinly and soaking them in water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the onions and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Toss the dried onions with flour, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then spread the onion mixture evenly in the basket.
  3. Air fry the onions for about 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make sure the onions are sliced thinly for even cooking. Pat the onions dry very well; moisture can make them soggy. Shake the basket during cooking to ensure all sides get crispy. For extra flavor, spices like garlic powder or paprika can be added.
