Mini Air Fryer Blooming Onions

4️⃣ Air Fry the Onions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. Lightly spray each onion all over with cooking spray to help it crisp and brown.
3. Place the onions in the air fryer basket, root side down, leaving space between each.
4. Air fry for 15–20 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Rotate or shake the basket gently halfway through for even cooking if needed.

5️⃣ Serve:

1. Carefully remove the blooming onions from the air fryer and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
2. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like spicy mayo, ranch, or chipotle aioli.

Tips & Variations

• For extra spice: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder to the flour mixture.
• Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
• Smaller onions work best for even cooking and individual portions.
