Instructions:
Prepare the Onions:
Peel the onions and cut off the top (stem end), leaving the root end intact.
Place the onion cut-side down and make cuts downward, stopping about 1/2 inch from the root. Make 12-16 cuts around the onion, depending on its size, to create the “petals.” Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Breading:
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of buttermilk.
Bread the Onions:
Dip each onion into the flour mixture, making sure to get the flour into all the “petals.”
Shake off any excess flour.
