Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and cut a small slice off the bottom of each to create a flat base. Slice off the top quarter of each onion.
Using a spoon, hollow out the center of the onions, leaving about half an inch of the outer layers. Reserve the scooped-out centers for another use, like soups or stocks.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the onions upright in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the onions, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the onions in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until they are tender.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each onion.
Return the onions to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your low carb savory baked onions!
