-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Vidalia onion -- (1 pound)
or any super-sweet onion
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 ounce corn flake crumbs -- (about 1/2 c.)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 egg white
Horseradish Dip:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons horseradish
1/2 clove garlic -- minced
Creamy Chili Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne -- or more

1.Trim the root end of the onion so it upright. Slice 1/2 inch from the top of the onion; discard the papery skin. Cut triangular slices to the center of the onion, slicing from the top to within 1/2 inch of the bottom and working your way around the onion to make several petals.Place the onion in a microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with the oil. Microwave, covered, on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the onion is slightly tender and the petals begin to separate.
2.Combine the corn flake crumbs, red pepper and seasoned salt in a bowl and mix well. Beat the egg white in a bowl until foamy. Dip the onion into the egg white, coating the petals completely. Place in a 2-cup round baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with the corn flake mixture. Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until brown and crisp.

Serve immediately with the Horseradish Dip and/or Creamy Chili Sauce.

NOTES : This isn't as pretty as the Blooming Onions from Outback Steakhouse, but it tastes great and is a good alternative to deep frying.
