Ingredients

• 4 large yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, omit for dairy-free)
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions and trim the root ends slightly so they can sit flat. Slice off the top quarter of each onion and set aside.

Step 3

Using a small knife or melon baller, hollow out the onions, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick outer layer. Reserve the removed onion flesh and chop it finely.

Step 4

Brush the hollowed onions lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them in a baking dish.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion flesh and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the gluten-free breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, Parmesan (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 8

Pour in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth and stir until the mixture is moist and holds together. Add more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.

Step 9

Spoon the filling into the hollowed onions, packing it gently but firmly. Place the reserved onion tops back onto each onion as a lid.

Step 10

Pour the remaining vegetable broth into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the filling is golden brown.

Step 12

Serve hot as a side dish or main course. Enjoy!
