Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Vidalia onions
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the Vidalia onions, ensuring the root end stays intact so they hold their shape while baking.
Slice a small, flat section off the bottom of each onion so they sit upright in a baking dish.
Using a paring knife, core each onion by cutting a small hole (about 1 inch in diameter) from the top, going about halfway down.
Place the onions upright in a greased baking dish.
Into the hollow center of each onion, add 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. If using, insert a sprig of fresh thyme into the center of each onion as well.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the onions to help them brown as they bake.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized on top.
Carefully transfer the baked onions to serving plates and drizzle any remaining honey-butter sauce from the baking dish over them.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, and enjoy!
