Air fried onions
Description
This Air Fried Onions recipe calls for thinly slicing a yellow onion and mixing it with ghee, then cooking it in an air fryer at 320°F for about 20 minutes. The onions are spread evenly in the fryer basket and stirred every five minutes to promote even browning and prevent sticking or burning. The air frying process yields onions that are soft and fragrant with gentle caramelization but without deep frying or sautéing.
The preparation is suitable for cooking a large onion amount without overcrowding the basket. Attention during the final minutes allows adjusting cooking time for the desired browning level. The resulting air fried onions can serve as toppings or ingredients in other dishes where tender, lightly cooked onions are desired.

Notes

- Mix and spread the onions every five minutes during cooking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
- Air fryer cooking times may vary, so watch carefully during the last few minutes and adjust time as needed for preferred doneness.
