Created by zaccopp1 on March 20, 2017

  • Category: Appetizers and Snack, Vegetable
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Large white onion
  • 2 tablespoons Milk, nonfat
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 3 teaspoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 3/4 cup Flour

Instructions

  1. Mix breadcrumbs with olive oil, cajun seasoning, garlic powder and paprika. In a separate dish, mix salt & pepper into the flour. In a bowl, mix milk with egg.
  2. Peel onion, cut off top. Place cut side down onto a cutting board.
  3. Starting 1/2 inch from the root, cut downward, all the way to the cutting board. Repeat to make 4 evenly spaced cuts around the onion.
  4. Continue slicing between each section until you have made 8 cuts total.
  5. Place sliced onion in ice water for at least 2 hours / overnight. Remove from water, pat dry. Open onion so are exposed.
  6. Beat eggs with milk. Place onion on a tray or in a bowl.
  7. Sprinkle onion generously with flour mixture. Make sure to get in between all “petals.” Turn onion upside down to remove excess flour.
  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 bread crumb 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 Power Air Fryer XL.
  11. Preheat the air fryer to 360F. Then place the onion in the basket and cook for 10 minutes. Leave foil on.
  12. When timer is done, check crispness of the onion. Cook 5-10 more minutes to desired crispness.

    I just bought myself an air fryer. Not only for french fries but I know there is a lot more you can do with the air fryer. This is one of the recipes I will like to try out. It looks fantastic. And I am very happy that you use the temperature in Celsius!! Thanks

    I don’t see the amount of olive oil in the ingredients list. Could you provide that to me?

      Its optional but a tablespoon or two makes it taste a ton better since the air fryer tends to make foods without natural oils a bit dry.

      Technical error, or maybe user error 🙂 Thanks for pointing it out.

    The recipe calls for flour in the instructions but it is not mentioned in the ingredients list. How much did you use?

    The recipe is terrible. We cooked ours for close to twenty minutes. Don’t waste your time on this one. The recipe in the book does not tell you on how much oil to use. I tried to chat with someone and kept getting disconnected. Wasted a perfectly good Vidaila onion

      Hi, sorry to hear that. We have had a few people with issues with this recipe. It looks like we need another revision.
