In recent years, air fryers have become a super popular kitchen appliance. They are easy to use and clean, fast, and can provide a healthier cooking option over other cooking methods such as frying in oil. If you are looking for a healthier and lower carb option for a side dish, air fried onions can be the solution you need. They are certainly delicious enough to compete with potato chips.
One of the biggest benefits of frying foods with less oil is that the flavour can really stand out, specially with onions. In the air fryer, onions will also come out crispier.
When air frying onions, the texture will depend on how they’re sliced. The thinner the slice, the crispier they’ll turn out, and the faster they’ll cook. Either way, this side dish can be paired with literally anything, from hamburgers to nachos, from scrambled eggs to hot dogs.
To make delicious air fried onions all you really need is an air fryer, sliced onions, a tiny bit of olive oil (or any oil of your choice), salt, and pepper. Mix it all well and stick the mixture in the air fryer at 200 degrees for about 10/15 minutes and it’s ready! Couldn’t be any simpler or faster, so will you give it a try?
The good thing about onions is that any seasonings are great with them. So, if you prefer a different mixture, rather than just salt and pepper, then you can try that too! We find some paprika works wonders.
