Ingredients

3 red onions

Instructions

Peel the onion and thinly slice it with a vegetable peeler or slicer. Lightly squeeze out excess moisture and blot with a paper towel.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Spread the onion slices evenly in the air fryer basket and then cook for 5 minutes at this temperature.
Then, reduce the heat to 130°C (265°F) and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir the onions, reduce the temperature to 90°C (194°F), and continue cooking until the onions are golden and crispy, which should take about 25 minutes.
Once done, allow the onions to cool completely.
Then, grind the dried onions in a coffee grinder until fine.
And that's it. You can now use your dry onions.
