4 small onions
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
Cooking spray
Instructions:
Prepare the Onions:
Peel the onions and cut off the top (not the root end). Carefully make several cuts from the top of the onion down to about 1/2 inch from the root end, creating “petals.” Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Soak the Onions:
Place the sliced onions in a bowl of ice water for about 1 hour. This helps the petals open up.
Chapter 3: Breading Station
Set Up Breading Stations:
In one bowl, combine the flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Chapter 4: Coating the Onions
Coat the Onions:
Remove the onions from the ice water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Dip each onion in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all the petals.
Dip the floured onions into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Finally, coat the onions with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the petals.
