Ingredients
- 4 pieces red onions
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the red onions and cut each one into quarters, keeping the root end intact to help hold the layers together during roasting.
Step 3
Place the onion quarters in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the balsamic mixture over the onions and gently toss to ensure the onions are evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the onions in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a roasting dish, cut side up. Drizzle any remaining balsamic mixture from the bowl over the onions.
Step 7
Roast the onions in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and caramelized.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the onions rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or use them as a topping for your favorite dishes.
