HERB-ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a sheet pan, reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine butter and oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk in vinegar, broth (or wine), honey, salt and pepper.

• Remove the foil. Using tongs, carefully turn the onions, keeping them intact. Bake, uncovered, until the onions are very tender and the honey mixture has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes more.

SHERRY VINEGAR-GLAZED ONIONS

Start testing with a thin sharp knife after 15 minutes; depending on size, the onions may cook in 15 to 25 minutes. (Frozen onions will cook faster.) Taste one to make sure it is completely tender all the way through; do not undercook.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a serving bowl. (Onions may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Reserve onions and cooking liquid separately. Reheat onions in reserved liquid, adding water as needed, then transfer them to a bowl.)
• Raise heat and boil liquid to reduce it to a thick glaze. Taste and add salt, pepper and sweetener to taste. Stir in parsley and serve hot or warm.

EASY ROASTED ONIONS (WITH VARIATIONS)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Trim and peel the onions, removing and discarding their stem and root ends along with their papery peels. You can leave the smallest onions whole, but you will want to cut most onions into halves or quarters, depending on how big they are. Bigger than bite-size is fine, but you don't want diners wrestling with giant whole onions that are tricky to cut.
• Put the onions in a large baking dish (they should easily fit in a single layer for the best, most even roasting).
• Drizzle the onions with the oil and toss to coat them thoroughly and evenly. If you've cut them, arrange the onions so the cut-side is down, facing the pan (this will help them brown nicely).
• Sprinkle the onions with salt (sprinkle from a few inches above the onions so the salt falls more or less evenly over them).
• Bake the onions, turning them once or twice if you think of it until they're completely tender to the bite and browning on the edges-about 30 minutes total.
• Drizzle the onions with vinegar before serving, if you like. Start with a smaller amount of vinegar and add more to taste if you like the effect.
