making life sweeter
There’s nothing quite like the flavor of a fresh, true sweet onion, but cooking with these little gems can be a bit tricky. The unique composition of a sweet onion makes them a wonderful ingredient in some dishes and a terrible choice for others. For the best results when cooking sweet onions consider these helpful tips:
Use sweets: Raw in sandwiches and salads; lightly grilled-whole or sliced, gently roasted or quickly baked; in stir-frys; power bowls, street tacos and other fresh fare. They are delicious caramelized but take care not to stir them too rigorously or cook them at too high a temperature
Avoid using in: Slow-cooker or long-simmering recipes like chili, stews, soup or in baked casserole dishes. Prolonged cooking breaks down the delicate texture and flavor of sweet onions.

Directions
Use a large knife to cut the top off the onion - leave the root intact. Peel off the skin.
Lay the cut side of the onion flat on a cutting board and use your knife to cut the onion into 12 sections for a smaller onion or 16 sections for a larger onion.
Once all your cuts have been made, add the onion to a large bowl of water with four tablespoons of salt (cut side down) and allow the onion to brine for 30 minutes to 24 hours. (If brining for longer than an hour, place the bowl of water and onion in the refrigerator) Remove the onion from the water, shake off excess water, and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a tall measuring cup or bowl, whisk together milk and eggs.
Combine Panko, paprika, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a bowl.
Dip the onion, cut side down into the milk and eggs mixture till all the sections are coated. Then dip the onion into the panko mixture. Use your hands to press panko mixture in between all the onion petals.
Flip the onion over and place on a baking sheet. Press panko mixture onto any spots that are not covered.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Combine the yogurt, ketchup, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt for the dipping sauce.
Serve the onion immediately from the oven with the sauce.
