Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow or sweet onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika or garlic powder (optional)

- Toss onion slices in the flour mixture until well coated.
- Spray lightly with oil and toss again to coat evenly.
- Preheat air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
