Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the onions and slice them in half through the root. Leave the root intact to help the onion halves hold together.
Place the onion halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the onions, ensuring each half is well-coated.
Sprinkle the onions with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme for seasoning.
If using balsamic vinegar, drizzle it lightly over the onions to add a touch of rich sweetness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the onions for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown, tender, and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the onions from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or use in salads, pasta, or as a topping for roasted meats.
