Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the onions and cut them into thick wedges, about 6-8 per onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the onion wedges to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade.
Spread the onions out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the onions.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the onions halfway through, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
Remove the onions from the oven and drizzle with a small amount of lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
Serve warm as a side dish and garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
