Air frying red onions is a great way to achieve a crispy and flavorful result. Here’s a simple recipe to air fry red onions:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized red onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
- Herbs or spices of your choice (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Peel the red onions and cut them into thin slices or wedges, depending on your preference.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the red onion slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you desire. You can use herbs like thyme, rosemary, or paprika for added flavor.
- Place the seasoned red onion slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer has a smaller capacity.
- Cook the red onions in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the onions halfway through cooking. The cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the onion slices and your desired level of crispness.
- Once the onions are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve the air-fried red onions as a side dish, topping for salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish for various dishes.
Note: Keep an eye on the onions as they cook in the air fryer, as cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and the thickness of the onion slices. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to achieve your desired level of crispness.
