Ingredients

• 4 medium Yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the onions and cut them into thick wedges, about 6-8 per onion.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.

Step 4

Add the onion wedges to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade.

Step 5

Spread the onions out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the onions.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the onions halfway through, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the onions from the oven and drizzle with a small amount of lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish and garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
