Onions vary in density depending on how they're chopped—finely diced onions pack more tightly than roughly sliced ones. That’s why weight (ounces) is often more reliable than volume (cups) for air fryer cooking. If you're prepping ahead, our vegetable recipe category has plenty of inspiration.
Use a measuring cup for liquids or a kitchen scale for the most accurate results. For 0.125 cup (which is 2 tablespoons), lightly fill the cup without packing the onion down. If using a scale, aim for just under 1 ounce (about 28 grams). This method works for all onion types, from red to white.
This small but mighty amount is perfect for adding depth to sauces, garnishing soups, or mixing into air-fryer-friendly batters. Try it in our air fryer recipes for crispy shallots or caramelised onion toppings. Since air fryers cook quickly, precise measurements prevent burning or undercooking.
If you're working with frozen onions, note that they may release more moisture. Adjust cooking times slightly and pat them dry before air frying. For more tips on handling frozen ingredients, visit our frozen foods section.
Need more or less than 0.125 cup? Simply multiply the ounces accordingly—for example, 0.25 cup would be roughly 2 ounces. Keep conversions handy with our cleaning and maintenance guide, so your air fryer stays in top shape for precise cooking.
