Easy Baked Blooming Onion Recipe
I have been dying to try out making a Easy Baked Blooming Onion Recipe for quite some time….so I finally did it! I didn’t want the muss, fuss or calories of the traditional deep fried Blooming Onion (deep fry doesn’t agree with my tummy these days anyway) so I roasted and baked it and it turned out deelish!
Not only that, with holidays and parties just around the corner this makes a deelish appetizer (easy appetizer recipes are my fave to make) that you and your guests would love! AND it’s super easy!! So here you go…
Easy Baked Blooming Onion Recipe
Making this baked blooming onion at home is super fun, easy and very impressive for guests! Trust me, folks will be impressed with very little effort!
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Sweet onion ( like Maui, Vidalia, Walla Walla)
- 2 Tbsp. melted Butter
- 1 Tsp. Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tsp. Honey Mustard
- 3 Tbsps. Panko Bread Crumbs or Plain Bread Crumbs (Gluten Free Panko)
- 1 Tsp. Low Sodium Garlic Salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut off and discard the root
Peel onion 
If you have something like I had with a little hole in it..you can sit the onion upright and it should be a little easier to cut the onion. (that’s a cutting board) But of course it’s totally doable and ok if you don’t!
Cut into about 16 wedges, cut through almost to through..but NOT all the way through. Leave the bottom in tact…
Place on a sheet of foil and fold up all the edges around it. Place in or on a little pan. Put in oven and roast for 20 minutes.
While Onion is in oven, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Honey mustard and Garlic Salt. Mix well.
Remove Onion from oven and carefully open foil. Gently brush on the Butter mixture all over and in between layers of Onion. You’ll need to pull apart some of the layers to get in between…but it’s really easy.
Now sprinkle on Panko or Bread Crumbs..Lifting layers to get in between with bread crumbs too.
Now place back into oven and bake another 15 to 20 minutes. Watch so that the tips don’t get too burned. I like them a little burned as it adds a little interest! But that’s just me.
Simple Blossom Sauce Recipe:
Mix together,
- 1/3 Cup Mayo or Plain Yogurt,
- 1/4 Tsp. Dried Dill and
- 1/4 Tsp. Garlic Powder…I know I love Garlic.
This turned out deelish! So I hope you will give it a whirl. You could totally prepare the Onion and sauce ahead of time and place in frig until company arrived then just place in oven. Very easy!
Enjoy!
