Making an onion boil.. 😅🧅

Ingredients

• 1 Large Yellow Onion (peeled, cut into bloom shape and hollowed)
• 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces and placed inside the onion cavity)
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Sazón Seasoning (Latin‑style seasoning blend)

• 0.25 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice (optional, adds brightness)
• 1 clove Fresh Garlic (minced; for garlic‑parmesan variation)
• 2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated; for garlic‑parmesan variation)

Instructions

1. Trim and Cut the Onion

   Slice off the top of the onion, then make a shallow cut around the middle to separate the layers like a flower. Carefully pull apart the layers to create a hollow cavity while keeping the outer skin intact.
