Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Peel the onions and cut off the tops, leaving the root intact. Cut each onion into quarters vertically, stopping just before the root, so they stay together.
- In a shallow bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- Dip each onion into the flour mixture, coating evenly, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
- Place the coated onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use regular onions instead of sweet onions, but they may have a stronger flavor.
- For extra crunch, lightly spray the onions again halfway through cooking.
- Try pairing these blooming onions with ranch dressing, spicy aioli, or a tangy BBQ sauce for dipping!
