Crispy Mini Blooming Onions cooked in an air fryer are a delightful twist on a classic favourite. These petite onions, when carefully sculpted, expand beautifully as they fry, creating a unique and eye-catching appetiser. The air fryer ensures they achieve that perfect golden crispiness without the excessive oil, making them a lighter option for indulging.
To prepare, simply slice the tops and bottoms off the mini onions, then carefully create petal-like cuts down to the base, resembling a flower in bloom. A quick dunk into seasoned batter followed by a light dusting of breadcrumbs ensures a satisfying crunch. As they cook, the air fryer circulates hot air around the onions, allowing every nook and cranny to become irresistibly crispy.
Serve these delectable treats with a zesty dipping sauce or smokey mayo for an added flavour punch — they’re sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a cheeky snack, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and tender sweetness of these delightful morsels that bring a touch of gourmet flair to your table.
