Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole shallots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the shallots by trimming the root end and gently removing the outer papery layers. Leave the shallots whole for roasting.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the peeled shallots in the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the coated shallots to a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. If using fresh thyme, scatter the sprigs on top of the shallots.
Roast the shallots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring once midway through cooking to ensure even caramelization.
The shallots are ready when they are tender, golden brown, and caramelized. Remove from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs if used.
Serve warm as a side dish, or use them to enhance the flavor of other dishes like salads or grain bowls.
