Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin rounds, keeping the slices uniform for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt to help release their moisture. Stir well to coat the onions in the oil and butter mixture.
Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the onions for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The onions should soften and turn golden brown.
Stir in the black pepper, fresh thyme leaves, and chopped rosemary. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized and fragrant.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the skillet, stirring well to deglaze the pan and coat the onions evenly with the vinegar. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the vinegar has reduced slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the herbed onions to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or topping. Enjoy!
