Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the seasoned onion slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches. (1 minute)

04

Step

Air fry for 10 minutes, then carefully shake or toss the onions in the basket to promote even cooking. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Continue air frying for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the onions are tender and beautifully golden brown, adjusting time based on your air fryer. (4 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the sauteed onions from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately!

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of brown sugar or a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking.
To prevent sticking, you can lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil before adding the onions.
Store leftover sauteed onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
