Ingredients
  

  • 2 red onions
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 3 minutes.
  • First, start by peeling the outer layer of the onions.
  • Then dice them or slice them to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Place them in a mixing bowl and add oil and seasonings. Toss to mix.
  • Then, add the diced onions to the air fryer basket and cook for 6 - 8 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the onions.
  • Don't forget to shake them halfway through. You'll know they're done when they're tender and starts to caramelize by changing color to a brownish tint.
