Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized onions (yellow, red, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or dried thyme)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the onions and cut them in half lengthwise through the root. If the onions are particularly large, you may quarter them instead.
Place the onions cut-side up in a baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the onions, making sure they are well coated. Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the onions as they roast.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, then place it in the preheated oven.
Roast for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and baste the onions with the liquid from the bottom of the dish.
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow the onions to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any remaining glaze from the baking dish over the onions for extra flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, salads, or grains.
