Sprinkle salt over sliced onions. Leave for 10 minutes until the onions soften.
In a large bowl, place softened onions (including the moisture that came out of onions) and all the other ingredients except the oil. Mix with hands well until a clumpy dough forms.
Add 1 tsp oil, mix thoroughly, and form 10 patties. Lightly spray some oil over the tops of the patties.
Lightly spray some oil inside the air fryer basket. Place the patties in the basket, making sure they don’t touch each other.
Cook for 8 minutes at 180°C, then turn and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce.
