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
- Prepare Onions: Peel and thinly slice the onions into rings or half rings depending on preference. Separate the rings carefully to ensure even coating.
- 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.
- 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.
- Air Fry: Cook the onions in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cook until the onions turn golden brown and crispy.
- 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.
