Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions:
- Peel the onions and cut off the tops, leaving the root intact. Cut each onion into quarters vertically, stopping just before the root, so they stay together.
- Make the Coating:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Coat the Onions:
- Dip each onion into the flour mixture, coating evenly. Then dip into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to ensure all surfaces are well covered.
- Air Fry the Onions:
- Place the coated onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more paprika or garlic powder.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ for extra flavor.
