About Baked onions

Baked onions are a simple yet flavorful dish commonly featured in a variety of cuisines, particularly European and Mediterranean cooking. This dish involves whole or sliced onions baked until tender and caramelized, often seasoned with herbs, olive oil, and sometimes topped with breadcrumbs or cheese. Onions are naturally rich in antioxidants like quercetin, as well as vitamins C and B6, contributing to immune support and overall health. Baking enhances their natural sweetness and can reduce their sharpness, making them more palatable. While olive oil adds healthy fats, toppings like cheese or butter may increase calorie and fat content. Low in calories and high in fiber, baked onions support digestion and heart health when prepared with minimal added fats and sodium. Their versatility makes them a satisfying side dish or a vegetarian-friendly base for more complex recipes.
