Outback Bloomin’ Onion Petals (Copycat)
Outback Bloomin’ Onion Petals taste just like the popular recipe! Pair them with the Bloom Sauce and everyone will be begging for more!
Making Outback Bloomin’ Onion Petals at home is so easy! I like making the actual spread apart onions too, just like from Outback, but I LOVe making these because they are NOT complicated at all! You don’t have to worry how you cut the onion or if it’s going to fall apart. Plus, I love these because they are really the perfect one bite snack!
To make the Outback Bloomin’ Onion Petals all you need to do is mix together a bowl of dry ingredients, and then a bowl of wet ingredients. Once you have the onions cut up, you dip them individually into the wet batter, then into the dry ingredients, and then repeat that. Yes, you want to coat them TWICE. This makes it so the batter really sticks to the onions and you don’t lose it all when you are frying it…that would be tragic.
