Roasted Onion Halves Recipes

ROASTED ONION HALVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Grease a small baking or roasting pan with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Rub the onions with the 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle them all over with salt and pepper.
• Put the onions cut side down in the prepared pan. Roast, undisturbed, until they start to brown, about 20 minutes. Use a spatula to turn them over. Top with the thyme if you like, then return them to the oven for another 15 to 25 minutes, depending on how tender you want them. Check for doneness by sticking a sharp-tipped knife or skewer into the side of one. Serve hot or at room temperature.

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.
