blooming onion
Deep-fried appetizer bulb
A blooming onion is a deep-fried appetizer made from a whole onion cut to spread open like a flower, battered, and fried until crispy.
Associated with American casual dining chains, particularly Outback Steakhouse, where it became a signature item: We started with a blooming onion and ranch dressing.
