The onion boil has taken over social media and it’s for good reason! These perfectly cooked onions are bursting with flavour in each bite. They’re tender and beyond easy to make! We’re talking for five minutes, and let the air fryer do the rest! Serve them with rice or potatoes- or just eat them on their own! 

The key in this onion boil recipe is to mimic the classic flavours of a seafood boil – think garlic, paprika, old bay seasoning- and don’t forget the butter! Feel free to try different spices, but for the ultimate simple side, the classic can’t be beat.
