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.
