Roasted red onion is a flavorful and nutritious vegetable often used in Mediterranean, Mexican, and American cuisines. This simple yet versatile dish is prepared by slicing or quartering fresh red onions and roasting them until caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. Rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, roasted red onions are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to support heart and immune health. They are also an excellent source of fiber, promoting healthy digestion, and contain vitamin C, folate, and potassium. While the roasting process slightly reduces their vitamin content, it also minimizes the pungency of raw onions, making them more palatable. Whether served as a side dish, topping, or incorporated into salads and sandwiches, roasted red onion adds depth to any meal without significant calories or unhealthy fats.
