Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 whole bulb garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and quarter the sweet onions, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves inside. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic bulb on the baking sheet alongside the onions.
Drizzle the onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle them with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Roast the onions and garlic in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and tender, and the garlic is soft and golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the onions and garlic cool slightly.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor or blender.
Add the roasted onions, balsamic vinegar, and any remaining juices from the baking sheet into the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
Serve the spread warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, crackers, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats or vegetables.
