How To Prepare Air Fryer Crispy Onions?
Preheat the air fryer to 300F (if the preheat option is available in your AF). Coat the onion rings with some oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Initially fry the onion at 300F for 10 min, then reduce the temperature to 240F and continue frying them until crispy and well done. Keep stirring the onion every 5 min of cooking. For even heating, texture, and color it is necessary to shake the onion at regular intervals.
Helpful Tips!
- If you are using a red onion, you may get dark brown fried onions in the end. Yellow onions result in a golden brown color after frying.
- Cut onion slices as evenly as possible. Or else you may get uneven color and texture after frying them. A mandolin slicer is a perfect tool for getting even slices. This will also speed up the cutting process.
- Drizzle the oil before separating the onion rings from the slices. It will help to distribute the oil evenly.
Instructions
- Peel and cut the onion into thin round slices.
- Drizzle oil over the slices and then gently separate the rings.
- Place the onion rings in the air fryer basket. Fry them initially at 300F for 10 min. Gently mix the rings at 5 min intervals.
- Now lower the temperature down to 240F and continue heating the rings. After every 5 min gently mixes the rings. It will take 15-18 min @240F to get the desired color and texture
