Ingredients

• 4 whole Red onions
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the red onions, trim the tops and bottoms, and slice them in half vertically (from root to stem).

Step 3

Place the halved onions face-up in a baking dish, arranging them snugly in a single layer.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the onions, letting it seep between the layers.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the honey-balsamic mixture over the onions, making sure each onion half is coated evenly.

Step 7

Dot small amounts of butter on top of each onion half for added richness.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and baste the onions with the pan juices. Return to the oven, uncovered, and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are golden and caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the onions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or use them as a topping for your favorite dishes.
