The sweet and sour pearl onions in air fryer are a tasty and bold-flavored side dish, perfect to accompany all meat-based main courses or cheeses. For my recipe, I chose Boretto onions, but red Tropea or white onions are also fine. The cooking degree can be subjective: I like the sweet and sour pearl onions in air fryer soft, so I keep them for forty minutes. If you prefer them firmer, 25/30 minutes will be enough. Adjust a bit according to your tastes.
