How to Make Honey Baked Red Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Halve 4 large red onions from top to bottom. Peel off the outer layer.
  3. Arrange onion halves, cut side down, in a single layer in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes.
  6. While the onions bake, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  7. After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil and turn the onions cut side up.
  8. Spoon half of the honey glaze evenly over the onions.
  9. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  10. Baste with the remaining glaze and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are very tender when pierced with a fork.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
