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

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by slicing your onions thinly and soaking them in water for about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the onions and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Toss the dried onions with flour, salt, and pepper until well-coated.

Cooking

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then spread the onion mixture evenly in the basket.
  • Air fry the onions for about 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  • 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.
