Ingredients

• 4 medium red onions
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the red onions and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Keep the layers intact for visual appeal.

Step 3

Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Drizzle the mixture evenly over the onion slices, making sure each slice is well-coated.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized around the edges.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and crumble the feta cheese over the roasted onions.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the feta is warmed through and slightly softened.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and transfer the onions to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or part of a mezze spread. Enjoy!
