How to Make Mini Bloomin Onion
- Cut a medium onion in half from top to bottom. Make several shallow cuts from the root end towards the tip, stopping just short of cutting all the way through. Repeat around the entire onion.
- Gently separate the onion layers, being careful not to tear them. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the onion in a bowl, coat with 1 cup of buttermilk, ensuring each layer is well-coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Dredge the buttermilk-soaked onion in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to each layer.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the onion in the hot oil, ensuring it's fully submerged. Fry for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the onion from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, marinara, or honey mustard are all great choices!).
