Ingredients

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare Onions: Peel and thinly slice the onions into rings or half rings depending on preference. Separate the rings carefully to ensure even coating.
2. Coat Onions: In a bowl, toss the sliced onions with the flour, salt, and oil until they are evenly coated. This coating helps create a crispy texture in the air fryer.
3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread the coated onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate and crisp them evenly. Avoid overcrowding for best results.

5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crispy onions from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve as a crunchy topping or snack.

Notes

• You can add spices like paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper to the flour for extra flavor.
• Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of onion slices and your air fryer model.
• Store leftover crispy onions in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
