Air fryer blooming onion

Step 1

Cut the pointy stem end of the onion off and then peel the onion. Place onion cut side down, about 1 inch from the root make a cut all the way down, repeat to make 4 evenly placed cuts around the onion. Continue slicing between each section until you have 16 evenly spaced cuts. Turn the onion over and gently use your fingers to separate the pieces.

Step 2

In a bowl large enough to place the onion, whisk the eggs and milk together.

Step 3

In a separate bowl mix the flour and seasonings together (paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano & garlic powder)

Step 4

Place onion in the flour mixture and use a spoon to cover onion with mix, shake off any excess

Step 5

Now dip the onion in the egg mixture, make sure the whole onion gets wet from the mix, let drip then repeat in the flour and cover as well as you can with the flour mix. Set in fridge and heat air fryer to 350F.

Step 6

Spray the onion before placing it in the air fryer with some cooking spray, you want to coat it well with the spray. Cook for 25 minutes, you can add a few sprays while it is cooking.

Step 7

While the onion is cooking you can make the chipotle aioli sauce, add all the ingredients to a food processer and mix for a few minutes. Store in the fridge.

Step 8

*Note- when figuring out the points for WW I only used 1 cup of flour, 1 egg and 1 cup of milk, you will have leftover but that amount is needed so you have enough to dip and cover the onion. *Note- the dip should yield 1 cup and is 2SP for 2Tbsp on all programs.
