AIR FRYER BLOOMING ONION

We all have that one dish that we love to order at a restaurant but can’t seem to recreate. Well, I finally found the secret ingredient! The air fryer.

Air Fryer Blooming Onion is one of the recipes I have been trying to perfect over the years.

This Air Fryer Blooming Onion is an easy and healthier way to enjoy your favorite restaurant appetizer at home. CRISPY with Juicy onions will be the hit of any party!

While many websites claimed to have made it, I tried and tried, and none of the recipes worked for me, but I did not give up. My son loves the Bloomin Onion they serve at Outback Steakhouse, and like most things, I will not give up. This recipe is perfect, so I wanted to share it with you.

So, if you have been to Outback Steakhouse, you probably ordered the famous appetizer, Bloomin Onion, which is served deep-fried and with a spicy signature sauce. The air fryer does a fantastic job at frying foods without any oil, so it was on my list of things to prepare.

What Type of Onions Should I Use For The Bloomin Onion?
For this recipe, use a sweet onion, the most common variety available in most grocery stores is the Vidalia onion.

But if you find another onion labeled as Sweet Onion in the store, the chances are that it is a Vidalia Onion.

What Kind of Onions Does Outback Use?
Outback uses a sweet onion, usually a pale yellow, which is milder and sweeter, than the other onions.

Look for an onion that is about the size of your hand. This will make for a fantastic appetizer!

What Type of Spray Oil Should I Use On The Blooming Onion Or My Air Fryer?
It is not recommended that you use aerosol sprays in your air fryer. Over time the chemicals in the sprays will cause your basket to peel.

Invest in a refillable spray bottle that will last for years.

Can You Freeze A Blooming Onion?
No, these are best eaten right out of the air fryer. If you have any leftovers, place them into an airtight container and put them into the refrigerator. They will last for about 2 to 3 days.

You can reheat your Blooming Onion in the 350 degrees F air fryer setting. For best results, spray your Bloomin’ Onion before reheating. It will help them crisp up.
