Roasted red onions are a flavorful and vibrant addition to meals, known for their natural sweetness and tender texture when cooked. This simple yet versatile ingredient, popular in Mediterranean and European cuisine, is prepared by roasting sliced or halved red onions until caramelized. Rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, red onions offer anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits. They are a low-calorie option, with some fiber to aid digestion, and contain essential vitamins like vitamin C and B6. Roasting enhances their sweetness without adding unhealthy fats, although excessive use of oils or toppings can increase calorie content. Their distinct flavor pairs well with roasted vegetables, grains, or proteins, making them an excellent choice for balanced meals.
