Bite-Sized Blooming Onions

We are skipping our annual deep fry party this year just because we don’t have a great free weekend to do it thanks to a massive yard project!

I love the party though so I might try to squeeze it into the fall… I’ve had these little guys floating around in my brain for a while now and thought I would try them at the deep fry party this year. Since it got postponed I figured I would just try them for the blog.

These bite-sized blooming onions turned out being one of those lucky recipes where I kept thinking a step would go wrong, but they all worked! It’s amazing when that happens. It means these were a huge success on the first try!

Sure, I’ll admit that they are a bit of work, but I actually liked them more than the full-sized version. Each bite has a crispier crust and there’s no fighting for pieces of the onion. There’s also no weird wilted leftovers on a plate! The work is worth it, people. Bite-sized is better.
