Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large onions
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the onions, ensuring you remove the outer papery layers but keep the root ends intact to help them hold their shape.
Step 3
Cut a small slice off the top of each onion to create a flat surface and carve out a shallow cavity in the center of each onion using a paring knife or teaspoon.
Step 4
Place the onions in a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Step 5
In each onion cavity, place 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Step 6
Drizzle the onions with olive oil, making sure each onion gets an even coating.
Step 7
Sprinkle the onions with salt and black pepper. Lay one sprig of fresh thyme on top of each onion.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 10
If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow it to melt and brown slightly.
Step 11
Remove the onions from the oven, discard the thyme sprigs, and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
