How to Make Air Fryer Crispy Mini Blooming Onions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the small sweet onions and trim both the tops and bottoms.
Mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Whisk the eggs in another bowl until fluffy.
Coat each onion by dipping it into the flour, then the egg, and rolling it in panko breadcrumbs.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the breaded onions inside.
Air fry the onions for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through.
Cool the onions slightly after air frying and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
