How to Make Baked Whole Onions

  4. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon of paprika.
  5. Brush the melted paprika butter generously over the onions.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs evenly over the tops of the onions.
  7. Pour any remaining paprika butter into the baking dish around the onions.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are lightly browned and the breadcrumbs are crispy.
