Ingredients
- 4 large Vidalia onions
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice off the top and bottom of each Vidalia onion so they sit flat. Peel off the outer layer of skin.
Step 3
Using a paring knife, hollow out a small well in the top center of each onion. Be careful not to cut all the way through the onion.
Step 4
Place each onion on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
Step 5
Into the well of each onion, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves evenly over the top of each onion.
Step 7
Wrap each onion tightly with foil, ensuring they are fully sealed to trap the steam inside during baking.
Step 8
Place the foil-wrapped onions on a baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized.
Step 9
Carefully remove the onions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before unwrapping the foil.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish, paired with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
