Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vidalia onions (medium-sized)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Beef bouillon cubes
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the Vidalia onions, making sure to remove only the outer layer of skin, and trim just enough from the bottom so they stand upright.
Using a small paring knife or a melon baller, carefully hollow out the very center of each onion to create a small cavity (about 1 inch deep).
Place each onion on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around it completely.
Into each onion cavity, crumble half a beef bouillon cube, then add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Bring the edges of the aluminum foil up around each onion and twist to seal tightly, ensuring no steam can escape.
Place the foil-wrapped onions on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the onions are very tender and caramelized.
Remove the onions from the oven and carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam).
Serve each baked onion in a small bowl or plate with some of the buttery broth from the foil, and enjoy!
