STEP 1
Peel and slice the onions
STEP 2
Preheat your air fryer to 190c / 370f
STEP 3
In a large bowl, mix the prepared sliced onions with olive oil and salt until they are all coated.
STEP 4
Using tongs, put the prepared onions into the preheated air fryer basket and air fry them for 12-14 minutes at 150c / 300f
Remember to shake and toss the onions at least once or twice during the cooking process until your preferred level of tenderness and browning has been achieved.
STEP 5
For thinly sliced onions, start with a cooking time of around 12 to 15 minutes at 150c / 300f.
However, the thickness of the sliced onions and your preferences can vary this time.
You can experiment with the timings and heat to get your desired level of fried onions.
If you have ‘Max Crisp’ or an alternative air fryer setting, you can use that towards the end of the cooking timings to really get those air fryer fried onions really sizzling.
