Equipment
- Baking Dish with Lid (or use a foil lid)
- Brush or Spoon
Ingredients
- 5 Sweet Onions (see notes)
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme, minced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (or 1 Tbsp. per onion)
Instructions
Prep
- Heat oven to 400°F. Prep the herbs by mincing them.
- Cut the tops and bottoms off of the onions and peel them. Then score them in an X shape about ½ inch deep. Place in the baking dish. Set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Using a garlic press, add the garlic to the bowl with the oil & herbs. Mix together well.
- Brush the tops of the onions with the herbed oil mixture and spoon the herbs on top of each onion. Use all of it.
- Place a pat of unsalted butter on top of each onion.
- Place the lid on the baking dish and bake for 50 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake another 15 minutes.
- Serve each onion with some of the liquid from the baking dish.
Notes
Sweet Onion Types
- Walla Walla Sweets, Vidalia, Maui, or any onion labeled as 'sweet' will work.
- Try to get them in similar sizes for even cooking time.
- Use as many onions as you want, though more than 5 may require a bit more of the oil/herb mixture, and butter.
