Preparation Steps
- Microwave the frozen pearl onions for about 2 minutes to partially cook. Once done, drain them well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, beat the egg until combined. In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to create a coating.
- Dip the cooked pearl onions into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and back into the flour for a double coating.
- Arrange the coated onions on a tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Place the coated onions in a single layer, spray with oil, and air fry for 3 minutes. Shake, spray again, and continue to air fry for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
