Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup low sodium vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Peel the onions and slice off a small part of the top and bottom so they can stand upright.
Step 3
Using a paring knife, carefully carve out a small hollow at the top of each onion to make room for the seasonings.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, thyme leaves, rosemary, pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture over each onion, letting it seep into the hollowed-out section at the top.
Step 6
Sprinkle lemon juice evenly over all the onions.
Step 7
Place the onions in a baking dish and pour the low sodium vegetable broth into the bottom of the dish.
Step 8
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep the onions moist during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the onions are fully softened and have a golden-brown hue.
Step 10
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or as part of a main course.
