Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Large Sweet Onion
- 1/2 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Paprika
- 1 Tsp Salt And Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Buttermilk (or Milk)
- Cooking Spray
Directions
Directions
- Slice the onion into very thin rings or half-moons and separate the pieces.
- Soak the onions in the buttermilk for 10–15 minutes. This helps the coating stick and mellows the onion flavour.
- Mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Remove small handfuls of onions from the milk, allowing the excess to drip off. Toss thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- Shake off excess flour and arrange the onions in the air-fryer basket in a loose, fairly thin layer. A little overlap is fine, but don’t pack them tightly.
- Spray the onions generously with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–14 minutes, shaking and separating the onions every 3–4 minutes.
- Watch closely during the last few minutes. Thin pieces can go from golden to burnt quickly.
- Remove when deep golden and crispy. Sprinkle with a little extra salt while hot.
- Let them sit for 3–5 minutes before serving—they’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
- Extra-crispy trick: Adding the cornstarch makes a noticeable difference. For really light, crunchy onions, slice them almost paper-thin and cook them in batches rather than crowding the basket.
