Notes
- These mini blooming onions are truly best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer, but any rare leftovers can be stored loosely covered in the fridge for a day, though they'll lose some crispness.
- Revive any cooled onions by popping them back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes; it’s the secret to recapturing that amazing golden crunch!
- Elevate your snacking game by serving these crispy mini blooming onions warm alongside a creamy dill dip, smoky chipotle mayo, or a classic ranch for an irresistible treat.
- For that perfect golden crisp on every petal, ensure you don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket; cook in batches to allow proper airflow and even cooking.
