Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Crispy Onions
  1. Start by peeling the yellow onions and slice them into thin, even rings measuring about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. In a large bowl, drizzle the tablespoon of cooking oil over the onion rings. Gently toss the onions to ensure each ring is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C), then carefully place the onion rings in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Reduce the air fryer temperature to 240°F (120°C) and continue cooking for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, stirring every five minutes.
  5. Once the onions are golden brown and fragrant, use tongs to carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
  6. Your Air Fryer Crispy Onions are now ready to be enjoyed!
