Appetizers and Small Bites
Blooming Onion with Chipotle Mayonnaise
Who knew this popular restaurant appetizer was so easy to make?
Makes 1 blooming onion, about 2 to 3 servings
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons buttermilk
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 large, sweet onion, peeled
Olive oil, for spraying
Nonstick cooking spray
½ cup mayonnaise
1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1. Prepare Chipotle Mayonnaise: Put mayonnaise, chipotle and lemon
juice in the work bowl of a mini food processor. Process on High until
completely puréed and homogenous. Transfer to a serving bowl,
cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan. Coat the basket with
nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
3. Put the flour into a bowl large enough to dip the onion. Put the egg
and buttermilk into another similar-sized bowl, and the breadcrumbs
and seasonings in a third, similar-sized bowl. Reserve.
4. Trim the top of the onion to create a flat surface. Leave the root end
intact. Turn the onion over, so the root end faces up, and rest it on its
flat surface.
5. Without piercing the root, cut the onion into 4 wedges. Also without
piercing the root, cut each wedge in half; repeat until wedges are
about ¼ inch thick.
6. Turn the cut onion over and carefully, without breaking the pieces off
the root, separate the layers; the separated onion will resemble a
flower with petals.
7. Dredge the onion in the flour, and gently shake off the excess before
dipping into the egg mixture, and then finally coating each layer
evenly with the panko mixture. Evenly spray the coated onion with
olive oil.
8. Coat the AirFryer Basket with nonstick cooking spray. Put the pre-
pared onion into the basket. Set the temperature to 400°F and AirFry
for 10 minutes. Onion is done when it is crispy and golden brown in
color.
