Ingredients

• 8 whole shallots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the shallots by trimming the root end and gently removing the outer papery layers. Leave the shallots whole for roasting.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Place the peeled shallots in the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the coated shallots to a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. If using fresh thyme, scatter the sprigs on top of the shallots.

Step 6

Roast the shallots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring once midway through cooking to ensure even caramelization.

Step 7

The shallots are ready when they are tender, golden brown, and caramelized. Remove from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs if used.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish, or use them to enhance the flavor of other dishes like salads or grain bowls.
