Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium red onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the red onions and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Keep the layers intact for visual appeal.
Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the mixture evenly over the onion slices, making sure each slice is well-coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and crumble the feta cheese over the roasted onions.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the feta is warmed through and slightly softened.
Remove from the oven and transfer the onions to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or part of a mezze spread. Enjoy!
