Line the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper

Notes

*Substitute cauliflower rice to make recipe gluten free

**To make pickled red onions – Peel and thinly slice 1 red onion, put the red onion in a 16oz glass jar, fill the jar with half white or rice wine vinegar and half water. Add 1 tbsp white sugar and 1 tsp salt, cap the jar and give it a shake. Put in the refrigerator to allow onions to pickle for at least 4 hours. IF you do not have pickled onions made, omit or substitute with raw, thinly sliced red onion.

***if the glaze is too thick, thin it out with a little bit of water
