Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large yellow onions (or around 1 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

  • Peel and cut 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 a 5 min interval.
  • Now lower the temperature down to 240F and continue heating the rings. After every 5 min gently mix the rings. It will take 15-18 min @240F to get the desired color and texture.

Notes

  1. You may use either red or yellow onion. However, note that the red onion would result in a darker color of the fried onion.
  2. Cooking times may vary depending on the quantity of the onion in the air fryer. The time stated above is for ~1 lb onion. If you have a slightly larger batch, simply keep frying and checking every 5 min interval at 240F till you get the desired color and texture
