- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Peel the Pearl Onions: Carefully remove the outer skins of the pearl onions so they’re clean and ready for seasoning.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a bowl, combine the peeled pearl onions with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, making sure each onion is evenly coated.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned onions in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate effectively.
- Air Fry: Cook the onions for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.
- Check for Doneness: After cooking, check that the onions are tender inside and crispy outside, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Peeling pearl onions can be easier by blanching them briefly in boiling water before shocking in ice water.
- Shake the air fryer basket gently to avoid damaging the onions but ensure even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste after cooking if desired.
- Serve as a side dish or add to salads and roasted vegetable medleys for extra flavor.
