This recipe has my husband hooked every single time; he’s absolutely addicted.

Today, we’re diving into the delightful world of baked blooming onions, a healthier twist on the classic deep-fried appetizer originating from Australia, famously popularized by American steakhouse chains. This recipe leaves you with all the deliciousness and visual appeal without the guilt associated with deep-frying. Perfect for casual get-togethers, game nights, or as a unique side dish, these baked blooming onions are sure to impress your friends and family.
Baked blooming onions pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Try serving them with a fresh green salad to balance the heaviness of the onion. They also complement grilled meats such as chicken, steak, or even a nice juicy burger. A tangy dipping sauce like a spiced aioli or a cool ranch can tie the dish together perfectly. For a more substantial meal, consider serving them alongside a hearty soup or a plate of roasted vegetables.
