How to Make Baked Bloomin Onion

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the large yellow onion. Trim off the very bottom to create a stable base, but leave the root end intact.
  3. Using a sharp knife, make 6-8 even cuts down into the onion, stopping just short of the root end. Carefully separate the onion layers to create "petals".
  4. In a large resealable zip-top bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. Generously spray the onion with cooking spray. Add the onion to the bag with the flour mixture and gently shake until the onion is evenly coated.
  6. Remove the onion from the bag and gently shake off any excess flour mixture.
  7. Place the onion on a baking sheet. Spray the top of the onion again with cooking spray to help it brown.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the onion is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite ranch dressing.
