How to Make Roasted Balsamic Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel onions, removing the outermost layers until you reach a firm, inedible layer.
  3. Place 4 large red onions in a large bowl.
  4. Add 1/4 cup olive oil to the bowl; toss gently to coat the onions completely.
  5. Transfer onions to a large roasting pan, reserving the remaining oil.
  6. Roast for 60-75 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved oil, until the onions are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the onions from the roasting pan and set aside on a plate to cool slightly.
  8. Place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
  9. Simmer the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until it reduces to a thick, syrupy consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
  10. Pour the balsamic syrup over the cooled onions, ensuring they are well coated.
  11. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
