Ingredients

• 4 pieces large sweet onions
• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the outer layer of skin from the onions, leaving the root end intact to hold them together during baking.

Step 3

Using a paring knife, make a small cut in the center of each onion, about an inch deep, to allow flavors to penetrate.

Step 4

Place the onions in a baking dish, root side down.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic cloves, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, black pepper, and salt together.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly over the onions in the baking dish.

Step 7

Lightly spray the onions with olive oil spray for an added glossy finish, ensuring you cover all sides.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and lightly browned.

Step 10

Let the baked onions rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors fully develop.

Step 11

Serve warm as a delightful and lightweight accompaniment or a flavorful focal point of your meal.
