Ingredients

• 4 whole Vidalia onions
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the Vidalia onions and trim the root ends slightly to ensure they sit upright, but leave enough root to keep the onion intact.

Step 3

Cut a small 'X' about 1 inch deep into the top of each onion, being careful not to cut too far down.

Step 4

Place one onion on the center of a sheet of aluminum foil.

Step 5

Gently open up the 'X' cut on the onion and insert 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar into the opening.

Step 6

Sprinkle the onion with a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.

Step 7

Wrap the aluminum foil tightly around the onion to create a sealed packet.

Step 8

Repeat this process for the remaining onions.

Step 9

Place the foil-wrapped onions on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the onions are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Carefully remove the onions from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before unwrapping the foil (be cautious of steam).

Step 11

Serve the onions whole as a sweet and savory side dish, or slice them open to enjoy the buttery glaze on the inside.
