Ingredients
- 4 pieces large yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the onions and cut off a small part of the bottoms to stabilize them. Trim about 1/4 inch off the tops of each onion.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep 'X' into the top of each onion, about halfway down.
Step 4
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Place the onions in a baking dish with enough space that they are not touching each other.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil over the onions, ensuring they are evenly coated. Do the same with the balsamic vinegar.
Step 7
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the onions and into the cuts.
Step 8
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper evenly over the onions.
Step 9
Pour the cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish, which will help keep the onions moist while baking.
Step 10
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 11
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Step 12
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be served hot or at room temperature.
