Preparation

Function: AirFry

Prepare Chipotle Mayonnaise:

1. Put mayonnaise, chipotle and lemon juice in the work bowl of a mini food processor. Process on High until completely puréed and homogeneous.
2. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare Onion:

1. Place the AirFry Basket onto the AirFry Pan. Coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
2. Put the flour into a bowl large enough to dip the onion. Put the egg and buttermilk into another similar-sized bowl, and the breadcrumbs and seasonings in a third, similar-sized bowl. Reserve.
3. Trim the top of the onion to create a flat surface. Leave the root end intact. Turn the onion over, so the root end faces up, and rest it on its flat surface.
4. Without piercing the root, cut the onion into 4 wedges. Also without piercing the root, cut each wedge in half; repeat until wedges are about ¼ inch thick.
5. Turn the cut onion over and carefully, without breaking the pieces off the root, separate the layers; the separated onion will resemble a flower with petals.
6. Dredge the onion in the flour, and gently shake off the excess before dipping into the egg mixture, and then finally, coating each layer evenly with the panko mixture. Evenly spray the coated onion with olive oil and place into the prepared basket.
7. Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Oven. Select Oven/AirFry, set the temperature and time to 400°F for 12 minutes, and press Start. Onion is done when it is crispy and golden brown in color.
8. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with the Chipotle Mayonnaise.
