Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Soak the sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor them.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  4. Remove the onions from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and coat them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  5. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  6. Place the coated onions in a single layer in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd.
  7. Spray the tops of the onions lightly with cooking spray.
  8. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the onions are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately as a topping for burgers, salads, or as a snack.

  • You can also use panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for an even crunchier texture.
