Step aside crispy onion rings, we’ve got a new kid blooming on the block…a whole onion battered and deep-fried, which then resembles an onion flower! Serve it with your favourite ‘secret’ dipping sauce and share it but pulling apart those “petal” layers and dipped in this homemade garlic & herb mayo (aioli).
We recommend buying the biggest onions you can find. It will make separating the layers easier and give you more shareable goodness. When pulling the slices apart don’t fret too much if some fall out.
Do you have to deep-fry this onion?
No, you can try a baked/roasted or air-fried version of a blooming onion. Dip the onion in the egg wash, then dredge in breadcrumbs, salt & pepper, or almond flour, and baked until golden (about 18 – 20 minutes).
