Description

Air Fryer Crispy Onions are a quick and easy snack or topping made from thinly sliced onions, coated in a flavorful flour mixture, and air fried to crispy perfection.


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  2. Toss the thinly sliced onion in the flour mixture until well coated.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil.
  4. Place coated onions in the basket in a single layer.
  5. Spray the tops lightly with avocado oil.
  6. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden.
