Why you will love making Baby Bloomin’ Onions

A fun little appetizer recipe – These little bites of goodness are not only adorably cute but incredibly delicious!

Short a large outback steakhouse bloomin’ onion itself, this viral tiktok appetizer recipe is bite after bite of perfectly seasoned breading and the vibrant taste of an onion. 

Great for football parties – Mini Pearl onions are great to serve up at football parties and make a perfect pairing alongside dip recipes and other finger foods.

Easy to grab and serve one by one (or by the handful), bite-sized blooming onions pair with various dipping sauces. 

Would we make fried pearl onions again? 

These tiktok mini blooming onions are a delight and one we would make again with a few minor changes. The original recipe was way underseasoned, and these are best (due to the fryer) in having super-seasoned flour. 

Get in there and be generous with herbs and spices. Do not be afraid to try other non-suggested spices as well!

The other problem is the amount of time they need to truly cook. You must keep the oil temperature down and regulate it as needed. If you do it too hot the outside could burn, and if you don’t cook them long enough, the onions will be too hard. The other option is to premake onions, let them cool, and then flash fry them.

Simple Ingredients

• frozen pearl onions – Thaw frozen onions in a bowl of cold water overnight before making this dish. The cold water helps not only defrost the onions but takes out some of the “bite” of the onion taste. Dry thoroughly before moving on to the breading. 
• eggs
• all-purpose flour
• Seasoning – cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
• vegetable oil for frying
• Dips – ranch dip recipe or a tiktok yum yum sauce recipe.

How to make Fried Mini Onion Bites

1. Remove onions from cold water and drain. Pat dry. Set aside.
2. Mix eggs in a shallow bowl. Set egg mixture aside.
3. Mix flour and spices in a separate deep bowl and mix.
4. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Dredge onions first into eggs and then into flour mixture. Shake excess flour off the coated onions. 

6. Place into hot oil and fry onions for about 25-30 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the outer layer crispy and golden brown with a soft and tender onion on the inside. Drain Bloomin onion bites on paper towels. Optional: Season with salt while still hot. 
7. Serve with ranch dressing.
