Ingredients
red onions
6 medium
olive oil
90 ml
salt
1 tsp
bay leaves
3 piece
black pepper (ground)
1 tsp
Instructions
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare onions
Make a total of 4 vertical cuts in each onion to create 8 wedges still attached at the root end.
Arrange onions
Drizzle a little of the olive oil into a baking dish, then arrange onions root end down.
Season onions
Spoon remaining olive oil into and around onions. Sprinkle generously with salt, getting some into the center of the onions. Toss in herbs.
First roast
Roast for 40 minutes.
Rearrange and finish roasting
Rearrange onions so that their petals open, and drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the caramelized onion juices from the pan. Roast until onions are tender on the inside with crispy bits on their outer petals, about 20 minutes longer. Season with pepper and more salt to taste.
Serve
Serve hot or at room temperature as a side dish, or as dinner with a good cheese and a green salad.
Storage
Best served fresh. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
