*SERVINGS: 10 onion bites*
**INGREDIENTS**
* 10 pearl onions
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup cornmeal
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
*For the sauce:*
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/4 cup ranch
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle in adobo sauce
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
* Pinch of salt
**INSTRUCTIONS**
1. Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
2. With a sharp paring knife, carefully cut off the non-root end of the onions. Make 8 to 12 small slits around the top of each onion, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use your hands to help separate the “petals”.
3. In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Dip onions in egg, followed by the dry mixture. Carefully drop onions into oil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. They will bloom as they cook. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Dip cooled onion blossoms in sauce and enjoy!
