Air-Fryer Onions
Description
To prepare Air-Fryer Onions, a large yellow onion is sliced thinly and combined with avocado oil (or olive oil), a preferred herb blend such as Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence, and optionally salt and freshly ground black pepper. The slices are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote uniform cooking and prevent steaming. Cooking at 375°F for about 10 minutes with a midway stir or flip encourages caramelization and browning.
The result is onions softened with some crispy, golden edges, showcasing a balance of sweet and savory flavors from the caramelization and seasoning. These onions can accompany various dishes or be used as a flavorful addition to sandwiches, salads, or burgers.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion large
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of your preferred herb blend like Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence
- salt to taste (optional, freshly-ground black pepper
- black pepper to taste (optional, freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the onion into thin strips. Note that the onions will reduce in size as they cook. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced onions with the oil, your seasoning of choice, and a pinch of salt and pepper if you choose. Mix well to coat the onions evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned onions in a single layer in the air-fryer basket or tray. Take care not to overcrowd the onions to allow for even cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes. Give the onions a gentle stir halfway through, or flip them, to ensure even browning.
- Remove onions from the air fryer once they have reached a caramelized state with some crispy edges.
