  • Cut off ½-inch from the pointy stem end of the onion.
  • Then peel the onion and place onto a cutting board, cut-side down.

  • Sprinkle the onion with flour mixture and then coat generously.
  • Shake off the excess flour mixture from onion.
  • With a spoon, pour the milk mixture over the onion evenly.
  • Again, sprinkle with flour mixture lightly.

  • After preheating, arrange the onion into the greased Air Fryer Basket.
  • Slide the basket into Air Fryer and set the time for 8-10 minutes.
  • After cooking time is finished, remove the onion from Air Fryer and serve.
