“Bloomin’ Onion”

Serves 4 Ingredients

• 1 Large white onion

• 1/4 cup Milk, nonfat

• 2 Large eggs

• 3/4 cup Panko Bread Crumps

• 1 1/2 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

1. To slice onion: slice 1 inch off the top and bottom of the onion and remove the papery skin. Use a thin

knife to cut a 1 inch diameter core out of the middle of the onion. Now use a very sharp, large knife to

slice the onion several times down the center to create 'petals': First slice through the center of the

onion to about three-fourths of the way down. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice it again in an X

across the first slice. Keep slicing the sections in half, very carefully until the onion has been cut 8-16

times. Do not cut down to the bottom of the onion. (The last 8 slices will be difficult, be careful).

2. Place sliced onion in ice water for at least 2 hours / overnight. Remove from water, pat dry. Open

onion so “Petals” are exposed.

3. Place onion on a tray or in a bowl.

4. Mix breadcrumbs with olive oil & Cajun seasoning.

5. In a dish, mix the milk and egg.

6. In a separate dish mix remaining seasonings with Panko.

7. Sprinkle onion generously with egg mixture. Make sure to get in between all petals. Turn onion upside

down to remove excess

8. Using a ladle, ladle the egg mixture into every crevice. Lift up onion and turn to make sure excess egg

drips off.

9. Sprinkle onion very generously with Panko mixture. Press into place.

10. Place the blooming onion into the Fry Basket of the Power Air Fryer XL. Cover the top with aluminum foil like a tent. Place the Fry Basket into the Fryer

12. Set cooking time to 10 minutes at 360°. Leave foil on.

13. When timer is done, check crispness of the onion. Cook 5-10 more minutes to desired crispness.

When done, remove carefully and serve with Ranch dressing.
