Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the onions as they cook.
- Once boiling, carefully add the quartered onions. Boil for about 10 minutes, until they start to soften but are not fully cooked through. This step ensures the onions are tender on the inside.
- Drain the onions and pat them dry with a paper towel. This is crucial to achieving that perfect crispy texture in the air fryer.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Add the boiled onions to the bowl and toss them gently to coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the seasoned onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
- Air fry the onions for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Look for a golden brown color and crispy edges as a sign they’re ready.
- Once done, transfer the onions to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
