Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium onions
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and cut them in half horizontally. Trim any excess outer layers that may be tough.
Prepare a rimmed baking dish or oven-safe skillet by lightly coating it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the rosemary and thyme sprigs evenly across the bottom of the dish to create a bed of herbs.
Arrange the onion halves cut-side up on top of the herb sprigs in the dish.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the onions, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the onions with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the onions.
Continue roasting, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes or until the onions are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully lift each onion half with a spatula or tongs and plate them on a serving platter.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and scatter it over the roasted onions as a garnish for added freshness.
Serve warm, ensuring to spoon some of the herby, balsamic-infused juices from the baking dish over the onions for extra flavor.
