Description
These air fryer mini blooming onions are a show-stopping appetizer that’s surprisingly easy to make. The bright lime yogurt drizzle complements the savory onion flavor for a refreshing snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150g pearl onions, peeled
- 120g all-purpose flour, with ½ tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp lime zest, salt, and pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten with 60ml milk
- 150g panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil spray
- 120g plain Greek yogurt, with 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp lime zest, and 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare Onions: Peel and trim pearl onions, making shallow ‘X’ cuts at the base and gently prying layers apart.
- Set Up Breading: Prepare flour, egg wash, and panko breadcrumb bowls.
- Bread Onions: Dredge onions in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing to adhere.
- Air Fry: Arrange in air fryer basket, spray with oil, and cook at 200°C (390°F) for 6-11 minutes, flipping halfway.
