  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large yellow onions (approximately 1 lb)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and cut them into thin round slices. Carefully separate the onion rings to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Coat the Onion Rings: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over the onion slices, then gently separate the rings to ensure they are evenly coated with oil.
  3. Initial Air Frying: Place the onion rings in the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes, gently mixing the rings every 5 minutes to promote even cooking and crispness.
  4. Lower Temperature Cooking: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 240°F (115°C) and continue to air fry the onion rings for an additional 15 to 18 minutes. Gently mix the rings every 5 minutes until they reach the desired golden color and crispy texture.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to ensure thin, even onion slices for consistent cooking.
  • Gently tossing the rings during cooking helps achieve uniform crispness and prevents sticking.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; monitor the rings closely near the end of cooking.
  • For extra flavor, consider seasoning with salt, pepper, or your favorite spices after air frying.
  • This recipe serves 1 but can be easily scaled for more servings.
