Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Cajun spice blend, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2
Peel the onions and trim off the root end.
3
Slice the onion downwards into wedges, but do not cut all the way through the bottom, so the onion holds its shape.
4
Place each onion on a large piece of aluminum foil.
5
Spoon the Cajun butter mixture over and into the crevices of each onion.
6
Drizzle a little olive oil over each onion.
7
Wrap each onion tightly in its foil packet.
8
Place the foil packets in the air fryer basket and cook for 45 minutes.
9
Carefully unwrap the onions, transfer to a serving plate, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
