Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large yellow onions (approximately 1 lb)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil (such as vegetable or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and cut them into thin, uniform round slices to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Oil the Slices: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over the onion slices and gently separate the rings to coat them evenly, which helps them crisp up in the air fryer.
  3. Initial Air Fry: Place the onion rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 300°F for 10 minutes, gently tossing or mixing the rings every 5 minutes to promote even browning.
  4. Lower Temperature for Crisping: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 240°F and continue cooking the onion rings for an additional 15-18 minutes. Stir gently every 5 minutes until the rings attain a golden-brown color and crispy texture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Once crispy, remove the onion rings from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve as a crunchy snack or a topping for your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Cut the onion slices thinly to ensure they crisp well without burning.
  • Use a light cooking oil with a high smoke point for best results.
  • Mixing the onion rings during cooking helps prevent sticking and promotes even crispiness.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
  • Store cooled crispy onions in an airtight container for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
