Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large onions Vidalia sweet onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 optional lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the Vidalia onions and cut each onion into 6-8 wedges, keeping a small portion of the root attached to hold the layers together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Add the onion wedges to the bowl and gently toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned onion wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the wedges do not overlap for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the onions for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the onions from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the roasted onions with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and garnish with optional lemon wedges for a bright, tangy contrast.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish, appetizer, or topping for grilled meats or salads. Enjoy!
