ROASTED BALSAMIC RED ONIONS



Roasted Balsamic Red Onions image

Categories     Onion     Side     Roast     Low Fat     Low Sodium     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vinegar     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds red onions (about 3 medium), each cut into 8 wedges
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly coat a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Arrange onions in one layer in pan and roast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just tender, about 15 minutes. Drizzle vinegar over onions and roast until most of vinegar is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season onions with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Red onions are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize and brown evenly.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will add a rich, complex flavor to the onions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the onions until they are caramelized: This will take about 30-45 minutes.
  • Serve the onions immediately: Roasted balsamic red onions are best served immediately, while they are still warm and caramelized.

Conclusion:

Roasted balsamic red onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights. The onions can be roasted in the oven or on the grill, and can be used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and even pizzas. Roasted balsamic red onions are a great way to add a pop of flavor and color to your next meal.
