### Instructions for Making Baby Air Fryer Blooming Onions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s go through the steps to make these **baby air fryer blooming onions**:
#### Step 1: Prepare the Baby Onions
Start by peeling the skins off the onions. Then, using a sharp knife, cut off the top of the onion (the root end), but leave the root end intact to hold the layers together.
Next, make a series of vertical cuts around the onion, slicing almost all the way to the root, but being careful not to cut through it completely. You’ll want the onion to resemble a flower, with each petal slightly separated, but still connected at the base.
Gently pull apart the layers of the onion to help them bloom open a little more. Once the onions are prepped, set them aside.
#### Step 2: Prepare the Breading Station
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This will be your dry coating for the onions.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk (or regular milk) to create your wet mixture.
Finally, in a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. These will give your blooming onions their signature crunch.
#### Step 3: Coat the Baby Onions
Take each onion and dip it into the flour mixture first, ensuring that the onion is well-coated. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured onion into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated with the wet ingredients.
Finally, coat the onion in the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the onion gently to ensure they adhere well.
Repeat this process with the second onion.
#### Step 4: Air Fry the Baby Blooming Onions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, carefully place the coated baby onions into the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not overcrowded, as this can prevent the onions from crisping up properly.
Cook the onions in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Check on them halfway through the cooking time and flip them if necessary to ensure even crisping on all sides.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the baby blooming onions are perfectly golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate.
