About Baked onion

Baked onion is a simple yet flavorful dish enjoyed across various cuisines, often featured in European and Mediterranean cooking. This preparation involves baking whole or sliced onions until they become tender and caramelized, unlocking their natural sweetness. Onions are low in calories and rich in antioxidants like quercetin, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. They also contain dietary fiber and essential vitamins such as vitamin C and B6. Baking preserves much of their nutritional value while enhancing their flavor without the need for excessive fat or salt. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on added ingredients like butter, cheese, or breadcrumbs, which may increase calorie and fat content. Ideal for vegetarian dishes or as a savory side, baked onions strike a balance between wholesome nutrition and comforting indulgence.
