Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions, keeping them whole, and trim off the root ends to create a flat base so they stand upright.
Place the onions in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil, coating each onion evenly.
Sprinkle the onions with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each onion.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized on top.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the onions to cool slightly.
Cut a small slit at the top of each onion (optional) to allow some of the steam to escape.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of sour cream onto each warm onion, letting it melt slightly over the top.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
