  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling the mini onions and trimming off both ends to prepare them for cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peeled onions with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to get it to the ideal cooking temperature.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned mini onions into the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding for best results.
  5. Cook the onions for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
  6. Check for doneness; the onions should be tender when pierced with a fork and slightly caramelized on the outside.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the air-fried mini onions to a serving dish.
  8. Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or a versatile ingredient in your favorite meals.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a dash of paprika or garlic powder to the seasoning mixture. These mini onions are excellent as a side dish, in salads, or as a topping for pizzas and flatbreads.
