Pro tip: use corn starch when powdering your onion in the first step. The provides better adhesion of the egg wash and therefore better adhesion of the crumbs.

[@servo24601]

This was VERY GOOD!! Outback's version is SOOOOO Greasy!!!! It made the next day a trial! This one was terrific and much lighter!! My wife loved it!!! And the sauce is going to be my "go to" "Thousand Island" copy recipe- to me it tastes almost like it but much better! Every recipe I have tried from Coit have been terrific!

[@Zee_1003]

it's easier if you use a sieve to sprinkle the flour over your onion and the egg int9 a squirt bottle for an even distribution.

[@Holmer188]

I can’t wait to make this. Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

[@rikaair6625]

So glad I found this channel!! Enjoy cooking again. Thank you for sharing your recipes and making it fun to watch.

Delicious! Looks amazing and it is a must try. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure!

[@anthonyrivet1287]

Very simple, thank you for the recipe!

[@DiddlyPenguin]

That looks really good. I have to do it this weekend 😋😊

[@Marginal391]

Probably the best blooming onion recipe out there 😊✔️ But wouldn't it be a good idea to mix the eggs and flour in the beginning? That could make the covering of the onion easier. Best regards 😊✔️

[@ElizabethHernandez-dy5zv]

Oooo gotta try this recipe!!! Thx I will fwd ur channel to friends & family so they can enjoy your recipes too.

[@veliaamparorivas3399]

Thank you, I’ll try it his weekend.

[@trumpisatruepatriot3431]

This looks ridiculously delicious. Sent this to hubby too. He does a lot of the cooking these days with my crazy schedule.

[@Honey-Sanchez]

I've been eating Walla Walla sweets for decades but I wanted to see how you do them. I'm very impressed that you've included concise instructions. I'll be making some this weekend. The Walla Walla's have just hit the stores and they're huge. I hope I can fit them in the air fryer. 🧅😲

[@0077alfie]

Use a BIG jar lid and put the base of the onion in it. the knife will not cut the root. Much faster in cutting the onion

[@bellenesatan]

I use one of those steel apple slicer/corer gadgets that you press down

[@RichardKlein-fi5um]

You're just a joy to watch. And what a great smile!

[@MSDIVADOLL2000]

Going to try this recipe 😮

[@ericapanama503]

Thank you so much !!! so yum !

[@IronWolf277]

Got an Air Fryer for Christmas, definitely gonna try this!

[@gracymiranda373]

Sou de Contagem Brasil,Amo essa receita. Obrigado

[@josephdyal2799]

I couldn’t get the egg to stick and it ended up as a spiky death ball with black tips 😂

[@edmorris7482]

Love your work. Keep up the videos.

[@SilverheartTR]

You can put the onion in the egg wash, which will help to cover it fully with the egg wash.

[@johnminor8304]

Thanks- gonna try it !

[@BlessOnBlessings]

Work smarter not harder, but why not just dip the onion into the bowl with the egg wash, same for the breadcrumbs. Seems like you’re taking longer steps by trynna drizzle it on each onion petal.

[@jeffreyhuntley4323]

Exactly amateurs

[@SpiteBellow]

I was yelling at my screen again JUST DUNK IT

[@sandraseldon6734]

Totally agree. Dip it!

[@MONICAFIGUEROA-xb6ic]

Looks fantastic. Whats the alternative for egg ?

[@ninahedgecoth9119]

Your air fryer onion is #1 !!!! I tried 2 others and they were alot more work and came out crappy !!!

[@maryjemison1101]

Beautiful

[@normanshadow1]

That looks so delish ❤. I'll do onion rings with that recipe

[@maureenbrown6610]

Sticking up end - stem. Hairy end - root. Great recipe don’t like spicy so just added a pinch of cayenne ❤

[@Dewabarasunderan]

The fact that he felt the need to spice up the onion with onion powder 😂

[@jasonaldridge625]

I learned a lot from watching this video one thing I might have changed or added is when you coat the onion place it on a wire rack above the tray

[@bySterling]

This looks amazing! 🎉

[@paulah4476]

I will have to try this

[@vampiric4real]

Most Australians have never had a Bloomin Onion

[@jms07739]

Outstanding! Hahaha, I'm drooling 🤤🙌

[@Greenlemonfish]

Did he say virgin at 1:13. Lol, thats so funny. Never needed a virgin as an ingedient for a dish before. I have to try this, but my local supermaket is out of fresh virgins. Try saying version 10 times in a row, I guess. Great video btw.

[@vernabryant2894]

I'll try this.

[@berngirl5624]

I can't wait to make this. The time on this though seem long. When I make frozen chicken wings they take 25 minutes.

[@dannymcneal]

Did you spray the blooming onion before air frying? Because mine didn’t turn out ANYthing like yours. Hmmm…..

[@berngirl5624]

I looked at some other recipes and yes they spray it. It could have been missed in the editing of this one. I don't think you get the nice browning without spraying it.

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I think he should have a disclaimer added to this video. I'm glad I saw your comment! @@berngirl5624

[@PoppySeed47]

Would brushing the egg on not be easier?

[@judichristopher4604]

I can not tell you how nice it is to SEE 1 CUP or 1 Teaspoon or 1 Tablespoon.... USA is GREAT... Thank YOU so much for this Great Video

[@TRUECRIMESPTV]

It's much easier to put the onion in the mixtures in bowls.

[@savithasureshrecipesandlif7631]

Instead of egg what to mix??

[@cookwithlala8312]

I will try😊

[@mathsinger]

I might do this. I don't deep fry. Too messy. Then there's what to do with the oil.

[@philipperousseau6338]

Beaucoup de travail pour un résultat aléatoire et UN SEUL oignon !!!!

[@btsarmyforever3816]

Tip: Use an apple cutter gadget and you don't need to use the knife to make the blooming onion shape. But yeah have to very carefully lift the gadget else the petals will fall off.

[@jpaul2774]

What is the name of your Cosori that you use and the size??

[@davidward3991]

You can cut the root and just let it fall apart and it will cook in my air fryer. I have 3 different sizes. And the oven is an air fryer. So I can do a big portion.

[@pmlm1571]

No spraying onion with oil before going into oven?

[@patcronin1961]

Drop the onion root side down on a suitably sized cookie cutter and use the cookie cutter as a knife stop. It’s way quicker and easier.

[@tomasaldente2622]

will one of those apple core cutters work for this?

[@samanthafinnerty3315]

just curious what size air fryer you use

[@timothybaker8234]

The stem is the top, the root is the bottom.

[@okay9906]

*...that's Onion Pakoda @ Pakora. From the Tamil word Pakku + Vadai = Pakkuvadai deformed to Pakkoda @ Pakora. Plaques of Vadai @ Vada. The English word Plaque is derived from the Tamil word Pakku.* *Nota bene: ...this version of onion Pakoda @ Pakora is called 'blooming onion' in the US.* 👍👍

[@COOKIT-qe4ow]

😋😋😋

[@carolrocks]

Please advise what kind of onion you uses.

[@berngirl5624]

Not sure what kind he used, but I think a Vidalia or Walla Walla would be better over a stronger onion.

[@mungkuavik2177]

Nice

[@ChevalNektosha]

Replace regular flour with besan flour

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I had to Google Besan Flour and glad I saw your comment. Thanking you from Escanaba, Michigan!

[@sherrybonnett4827]

Channa flour (chickpea) could work too.

[@ring9684]

😋

[@karlkadner1697]

Not bad but - the eggs should be placed in a small cup to almost cover the onion. There the onion can also be turned arround. The temperture is too high! In celcius it is 165. Less would also be good but time has to be extented. I will try again Pls excuse my english - I am from Germany!

[@marcjtdc]

why do this? you only have to walk 9.5 hours to burn off one blooming onion from outback

[@cookingwithcoit]

Haha true!

[@cjb3992]

Notice he won’t let you hear the crunch without disguising his failure with bad music. Flag on the play

[@mollywolly4201]

Haha are you for real!!???

[@lateonaname]

Mmmkay… I’m sure it’s tasty but this looks like a first time go around at a recipe… there were several things straight away that would’ve made the effort easier… simply sifting the flour over it and then holding the onion together and dipping it into the bowl with whipped eggs … I don’t see how it had to get so funky 🙄

[@berngirl5624]

100% he made it more difficult than it needed to be.

[@Narkamu-il4tf]

I cooked this today and the sauce was good however, the onion came out a little tough and its a bit different compared to the original restaurant flavor that we all know and love. I followed your recipe to the T and used a medium/large onion like you did. Their is some error to this recipe and lack of skill. The onion needs to be steamed a bit if you want the right texture. My recommendation is to wrap it with aluminon foil and than take the foil off to brown it in an air fryer. There is also better ways to cover the onion with flour, eggs, and panko crumbs. I did however love the style of your video but I give your recipe a 4 out of 10.

[@andreamejia9245]

They remind me of fried chicken and fried octopus. Can't wait to try them

[@williamgates4399]

Why not just sit the whole onion into a bowl with the egg mix to let it settle for a few minutes? Then gently rub the egg onto the onion?

[@j.pierce8786]

Man, you need to sharpen that knife.

[@adude4491]

Put the eggs in a small spray bottle

[@adude4491]

Why don’t you just drop the onion into the bowl with the egg mixture. 😂

[@iTankSometimes]

You need to sharpen those knives, other than that, great vid

[@Ring0--]

I bought an air fryer for Less Work

[@gayledavis1407]

Way, Way too much salt. Get a bigger bowl and put the onion into the bowl with the egg mixture. Recommend you keep cooking while you are talking. You tend to stop cooking when you are talking. Great recipe.

[@Thomas-xy4sh]

So painful to watch this guys “knife skills.” LOL

[@broderp]

So here's the problem I see with all these types of recipes. What do you do with all the extra ingreduients mixed up and left on the prep sheet? All these things you're going to waste, its like throwing money down the drain.
