Tried making my own Blooming Onion today, It out pretty good. I took some very small onions, peeled them leaving the root end. Because I cut clear through the onion the first time I turned them so the root end was on top and cut from about a 1\4 inch from the root through to the middle. And spacing the cuts to make petals clear around. I then spread the petals out not to far though. Soak it in water for about 15 minutes. Dredaged them in seasoned flour, then egg wash, then in seasoned bread crumbs. Deep Fried them until done. Pretty Tasty
