INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds cipollini onions, peeled and sectioned


• 2 large eggs


• 1 cup buttermilk


• 2 cups all-purpose flour


• 1 tablespoon paprika


• 1 tablespoon kosher salt


• 1 tablespoon pepper


• 1 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper


• Vegetable oil, for frying

 

Onion Dip:

• 1/4 cup mayo


• 1/4 cup sour cream


• 1 tablespoon ketchup


• 1/2 teaspoon paprika


• Pinch of salt and pepper

 

 

Directions

1. Prep onions by slicing off the root end. Slice off as little as possible. Carefully peel onions. Use a sharp knife to cut the onion into eighths, vertically, being careful not to cut all the way through the onion so it stays together. I think it’s best to leave what was the tip end intact.
