Baked Blooming Onion
Recipe
1 onion
3 eggs
1 tablespoon Paprika
1 tablespoon Turmeric
1 tablespoon Garlic Flakes
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt

Steps
1. In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs.
2. In another bowl, mix well the all the spices and salt 

3. From the top, cut 1/4 of the onion. Do not remove the root (yet)
4. Turned the onion 180 degree, where the cut portion laid flat at the chopping board.
5. Around 0.5~1cm away from root, cut straight downwards into the onions into 4 sections
6. In between the each section, further cut straight downwards into the onion to divide each section into 4 portion. Will arrive at 16 sections in total.
7. Slice off the root, be careful not to slick too much or the sections will fall apart.
8. Turn the onion 180 degree, where the root section now laid flat at the chopping board.
9. Gently open the petals so they spread out. Remove any petals or the middle portion IF it is detached from the onion.

10. Preheat oven at between either 180~200 degree celsius.
11. Prepare a baking tray with a baking sheet and lightly greased the baking sheet.

12. Bring the blooming onion to the bowl with the spices and sprinkle each petal with the spices.
13. Bring the blooming onion to the bowl with egg mixture and coat each petal with the spices.
14. Once again, bring the blooming onion back to the bowl with the spices and sprinkle each petal with the spices.

15. Lay  the blooming onion onto the baking sheet and cover the top with an aluminum sheet
16. Bake for 30 mins @ 180~200 degree celsius (I tried mine at 200 degree celsius)
17. Remove the aluminum sheet and bake another 10~15 mins @ 180 degree celsius. (I baked for 15 mins)

Note: 
> For the spice, have to top up more in volume if it's not sufficient enough for sprinkle on the all the petals. 
> In other recipe, there is variation in the spices used. I only have the above listed. Can explore around and try add in other spices.

In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2. Spread onto the air fryer baking tray. (Note: to line the baking tray with baking paper) 3. Set air fryer temperature to 160C and timer set to 12 minutes 4. Keep tabs on the almond florentine, once turn brown, it's time to re...
