Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Red onions
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 3 Garlic cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the red onions and cut them into quarters. Halve any larger baby potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Place the onions and potatoes into a large roasting tray, making sure they are spread out in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Scatter the fresh rosemary sprigs over the tray. Lightly smash the garlic cloves (leave the skins on) and add them to the tray for extra aroma.
Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Once the onions and potatoes are tender and golden, remove from the oven. Discard the rosemary sprigs if desired.
Serve the balsamic baked onions and potatoes hot as a side dish to complement roasted meats, fish, or even a hearty vegetarian main.
