If you're looking for a simple yet impressive side dish that will tantalize your taste buds, look no further than glazed baked onions. These caramelized beauties are a perfect accompaniment to any main course, whether it's a juicy steak, roasted chicken, or grilled fish. With their naturally sweet flavor enhanced by a glaze of brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and herbs, these onions offer a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal ingredients, making them a great option for busy home cooks. So, fire up your oven and get ready to experience the irresistible charm of glazed baked onions.

**Traditional Glazed Baked Onions:**

This classic recipe showcases the natural sweetness of onions, caramelized to perfection in a combination of butter and olive oil. A simple glaze made from brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and a touch of thyme adds a delightful depth of flavor. The result is tender, flavorful onions that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

**Mustard-Glazed Baked Onions:**

For a more tangy and robust flavor profile, try this variation featuring a mustard glaze. Dijon mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar are combined to create a glaze that perfectly complements the caramelized onions. The result is a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy side dish that will add a pop of flavor to your next meal.

HONEY-GLAZED ONIONS



Honey-Glazed Onions image

Onions lose their bite and transform into a mellow, tender veggie when they're baked in the oven with a sweet and tangy sauce. Keeping the root end of the onions intact keeps them together while they cook. Serve this easy side dish alongside grilled or roasted pork, chicken or steak.

ROASTED (OR GRILLED) WHOLE ONIONS



Roasted (Or Grilled) Whole Onions image

There are some similar recipes, but none using Worcestershire sauce - the secret to my whole onion recipe. Everyone loves them, no one believes how simple they are. You can roast in the oven or on the grill.

Provided by Deb Wolf

Categories     Low Protein

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium onions, peeled but left whole (baseball size)
4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 1/2-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F or get a heap of coals glowing in your grill.
  • Carefully make 8 cuts down to, but not through the root end of each onion. To keep from cutting too far, it helps to put the onion inside a canning ring.
  • Working with one onion at a time, place an onion onto a square of heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Very gently, push your finger into the top of the onion, to loosen the wedges enough to pour the bouillon granules into the center of the onion.
  • Drizzle the onion with 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
  • Smear 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of the onion and into the cuts.
  • Gather the corners of the foil and wrap tightly. It will look like a giant hershey kiss.
  • To bake in the oven:.
  • Place all wrapped onions into a baking dish so that they will stay upright.
  • Roast in a 400F oven for 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.
  • To roast on a grill:.
  • Place the onions, individually on the grill grate. Rotate the location of the onions occasionally, being careful to keep them upright. Roast in a covered, hot grill 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.

GLAZED BAKED ONIONS



Glazed Baked Onions image

Categories     Onions

Time 1h

Yield 1 baking dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium yellow onions, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (we didn't use)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Cut 1/2 inch off the top of each onion with a sharp knife.
  • Combine remaining ingredients, except water, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Shake vigorously.
  • Fit onions snugly into a baking dish.
  • Pour water in bottom of dish and drizzle 1 Tbs. honey glaze over each onion.
  • Bake 50 minutes or until tender, basting with additional glaze every 10-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Use medium-sized yellow or white onions for this recipe. They should be firm and have intact outer layers. Avoid using large onions, as they may not cook evenly.
  • Slice Evenly: Cut the onions into even slices to ensure consistent cooking. Use a sharp knife and make sure the slices are about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It will add a delicious flavor and help the onions caramelize beautifully.
  • Don't Crowd the Onions: Spread the onion slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
  • Season Well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the onions. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Glaze the Onions: The glaze is what gives these onions their sweet and tangy flavor. Make sure to brush the onions with the glaze several times during the baking process.

Conclusion:

Glazed baked onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, these onions are sure to please. So, next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give glazed baked onions a try!
