Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow or red onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the onions and slice them in half lengthwise. Trim the root ends slightly while keeping them intact to hold the onion halves together.
Arrange the onion halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Choose a dish where the onions fit snugly to avoid excess spacing.
Drizzle the onions with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, and thyme leaves until well combined.
Pour the honey-balsamic mixture over the onions, ensuring each onion is coated evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized. Baste the onions with the pan juices halfway through the uncovered roasting time for extra flavor.
Once done, remove the onions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for grilled meats, salads, or toasted bread.
