Silent Recipes - Balsamic Roasted Onions

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is more affordable and still provides a tangy flavor.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar is a cost-effective sweetener that works well in roasting.

Place the onions in a large plastic food storage bag or shallow dish.

In a small bowl, combine the balsamic, olive oil, honey, mustard, rosemary, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.

Pour this mixture over the onion slices and close the bag or cover the dish.

Marinate the onions in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight; be sure to occasionally shake the onions around in the bag or stir them in the dish to ensure that the marinade gets into all parts of the onions.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Lay the onion slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake them until the onions are very tender and dark in color—about 55 to 60 minutes, removing them from the oven to lightly baste the tops with more of the vinegar mixture every 15 minutes.

After removing them from the oven, drizzle each of the onions with about ¼ teaspoon of honey and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt.
