Air Fryer Onions
Description
The recipe begins with peeling and slicing a medium white onion into thin strips spread evenly in the air fryer basket. Spraying with extra virgin olive oil helps promote even browning and crisp texture. The first air frying stage at 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes starts the cooking and caramelization process. After shaking the basket and an additional olive oil spray, the onions are air fried further at 180°C (360°F) for 6 minutes or until the desired crispness is reached.
This two-step approach balances cooking speed and control to avoid burning the onions while delivering a crisp final texture. The crispy onions can be used as garnish or snack components adding depth and texture to meals.
The method was tested using a Cosori air fryer, with a recommendation to adjust times and temperatures based on your specific air fryer model to achieve optimal results.

Notes
