Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions, then slice off a small piece from the bottom of each one so they can stand upright. Then cut a cross in the top of each onion, about halfway through.
Place the onions in a baking dish, cut side up.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each onion. Ensure the oil seeps into the cuts.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme evenly over the onions.
Mix garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt together in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the onions.
Pour the balsamic vinegar over the onions, ensuring it coats evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
