Baked Blooming Onion Recipe
This baked blooming onion recipe is my take on a popular restaurant appetizer that everybody loves. Baked instead of fried makes it a whole lot healthier! This Baked Blooming Onion is my idea of a classic dish. Growing up in Missouri, the fine dining options were…slim. Don’t get me wrong, there is some delicious food here (hello BBQ!!!), but the options are definitely limited. As a kid, I seriously LOVED Outback Steakhouse (I know, I know). It felt like such a treat every time we went there, and my favorite thing to get was the Bloomin’ Onion! Kids don’t have to worry about consuming thousands of calories for an appetizer, but my 32 year old body DOES have to worry about it. I still want my blooming onion, but I really don’t want that to be the only thing I can afford to eat for days! That’s why this Baked Blooming Onion recipe is perfect! It’s easily just as tasty, but just a fraction of the calories and fat. Now that I know how to make a blooming onion at home (just a little bit healthier), I can make this tasty appetizer any time I want!
