Can I Make This in the Air Fryer?
Yes! These can be air fried. To air fry, preheat your air fryer to 425 degrees and then cook onion strings for 4-5 minutes, or until golden browned.

Leftover onion strings can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
I do not recommend freezing onion strings.
