Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the onions and cut a small slice off the bottom of each to create a flat base. Slice off the top quarter of each onion.
Step 3
Using a spoon, hollow out the center of the onions, leaving about half an inch of the outer layers. Reserve the scooped-out centers for another use, like soups or stocks.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the onions upright in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the onions, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the onions in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until they are tender.
Step 7
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each onion.
Step 8
Return the onions to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your low carb savory baked onions!
