Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Spanish onions (or a few more smaller ones You may use vidalia or the common yellow too.)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450*F.
  • Cut the onions into halves at the equators.
  • Remove the skin and any tough outer layers.
  • Do not cut off the root and stem ends and be careful not to score the layers you don't remove: uncut, the outer layer will better hold the onion together as it roasts.
  • Place the onion halves cut side down in a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour over the onions.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, and then turn the onions over and baste them with the pan juices.
  • Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until easily pierced with a paring knife and the inner rings have begun to swell and rise up.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!
