  1. Cut off the two ends of the onion, peel the onion, cut it in half, and then slice it. The thickness of the slices should be about 1/8 inch.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).  
  3. Place the onions in a small bowl, add the oil sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and mix well. 
  4. Spread the onions in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry the onions for a total of 8 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add 3 minutes at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), for golden brown onions.
  6. Stir the onions occasionally with a wooden spoon while cooking.

Notes

  • Cold onion: Put the onion in the refrigerator at least an hour beforehand.
  • Soaking onion: Soaking the onion, after peeling and splitting it in 2, serves to denature the irritant enzyme. Also good for sweetening the flavor of the onion.
  • Wet knife blade: Wet the knife blade with cold water; you can wet the blade several times. 
  • Use a steam source: Bringing a jug of hot water close to the cutting board for work can reduce tearing.
  • Eat a piece of bread: Grandmother's remedy of slowly chewing a piece of bread while cutting the onion.
