These would add a fun extra crunch and flavor on salads or potatoes. The key to cooking them without oil is to bake them on a low temperature and let them basically dehydrate. These are so much healthier than the oily versions, which is about all you can find at the store.
Only 2 Ingredients (and you can do it with onions only if you prefer)
- onions
- shallots
Slice onions and shallots into super thin slices.
AIR FRYER
Preheat air fryer. Set your air fryer to 150 degrees and cook for 5-10 mins. If your onions or shallots are caramelized but still contain water, set to dehydrate function on 40-60 degrees for around an hour to dry out.
Another recipe - Preheat the air fryer to 265F . Cook in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes total, setting a timer for every 5 minutes to shake the basket and toss the onions around. Once golden brown and crispy, onions are ready.
OVEN
Alternatively, place on a baking tray and place into a preheated oven on a low heat (try 265) and roast slowly for 90-120 minutes. Check and turn every 20 minutes.
☝️ Since these are made without oil, you can store them in a jar on the shelf. They'll keep for ages, so go ahead and make a big batch! Be sure to let them cool completely before putting them in the jar.
