Baked Onion

• Drizzle the olive oil (or melted butter) over the onions, making sure to coat them well.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you like (such as thyme or Italian seasoning).
• If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top of each onion or the cut sides.

4. Bake the onions:

• Place the seasoned onions on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized around the edges. If you’re using whole onions, it may take a bit longer to cook through.

5. Garnish and serve:

• Once the onions are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
• Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, or thyme for a fresh flavor boost.

Tips:

• You can stuff the center of the onions with breadcrumbs, cheese, or cooked vegetables for an added twist.
• For a sweeter flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic vinegar or honey on the onions before baking.
• If you like a bit of a crispy texture, finish the onions under the broiler for 2-3 minutes after baking, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Enjoy your baked onions as a savory side dish or even as a topping for meats and sandwiches!
