Ingredients
- 4 red onions, halved from root to stem end with skin left intact
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken stock or water
- 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Select a baking dish in which the onion halves will fit in a single layer. Line it with a piece of aluminum foil long enough to extend beyond the ends and fold over to meet in the center. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Place the onions, cut sides up, in the dish. Drizzle the olive oil, chicken stock or water and balsamic vinegar evenly over the onions. Sprinkle with the sugar, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring the ends of the foil together to meet in the center covering the onions loosely.
-
Bake for 1 hour. Fold back the foil to expose the onions. Continue to bake until the onions are very tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes longer.
