All but the sharpest of onions can be mellowed into luscious sweetness by roasting them. A drizzle of flavorful, high-quality balsamic or cider vinegar before serving highlights that sweetness to perfection but is completely optional.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. small onions
- 1 to 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- Salt
- Balsamic or cider vinegar (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400. Trim and peel onions. You can leave the smallest onions whole, but you will want to cut most onions in half or quarters, depending on how big they are.
- Put onions in a large baking dish. Drizzle with oil and toss to evenly coat the onions. Sprinkle with salt. Bake, turning once or twice if you think of it, until tender and browning on the edges, about 30 minutes.
- Drizzle with vinegar to taste, if you like.
Makes 6 to 8 servings Roasted Onions.
