Notes
Store leftover crispy fried onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a well-sealed container. Slice the onions evenly for consistent cooking, and don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the best results. Experiment with spices like garlic powder or cayenne pepper for added flavor.
