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!
I’ve actually had the recipe for Copycat Outback Bloom Sauce on Domestic Superhero for years, and it’s always a hit! When I was making it on my live show a few weeks ago, I figured I show how to make the Outback Bloomin’ Onion Petals I always cook up to go along with it…after all, it’s super easy.
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.

this recipe looks delicious. I know it is not a gluten free recipe, but do you it be possible to use rice flour in place of the flour? We use rice flour as the base of tempura batter, wondering if it could be here as well:)
Allyson says
Hi there – since I haven’t tried it, I can’t say for sure. If you typically sub the rice flour, then it might work! I think it’s worth a try! Please let me know how it turns out!
Amanda says
I had the same issue and tried the rice flour and it came out great
laura says
can you use an air fryer for the onions
Allyson says
I haven’t tried that, but I bet so!
Sue says
If anyone tries this recipe using an air fryer, I would be interested in finding out how they turn out. Thank you!!

I am in love with bloomin onions!!! Unfortunately I can’t sit at Outback every week and eat them endlessly. I am so excited to try these at home. And not have to be embarrassed by how many (or how quickly) I eat!

Kathy says
