Barefoot Blogger - Herb Roasted Onions

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am so excited to share one of this month’s Barefoot Blogger recipe with you. It is so yummy and I am not a big onion fan! I did shed a few tears over this recipe though as I cut up the onions.

I have been looking for an additional side dish to serve for Thanksgiving dinner and I think I have found it! (I”ll share my whole Thanksgiving menu next week)

This recipe was selected by Kelly from Baking with the Boys - thank you Kelly!!

This is an easy to prepare dish and it smells yummy while it’s cooking and tastes even better - even the burnt parts taste great.

I followed the recipe as is except I used only red onions because that’s what I had. I also used dried thyme instead of fresh.

Herb Roasted Onions

2 red onions

1 yellow onion

2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 Tbsp minced fresh thyme leaves

3/4 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup good olive oil

1/2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley leaves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.

For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.

With a slotted spoon transfer the onions to a sheet pan reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30-45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

I loved the burnt bits too - so delicious. What a great pick!

They look great.

Did you feel that the dried thyme was overpowering?

Hi - I did not feel the dried thyme was overpowering but I only used about 1/2 tsp or so - not the same amount as it called for in fresh.

I can’t wait to try this, because I love onions! Thanks for sharing.

I can’t wait to read about your Thanksgiving menu! I’m so excited to get everything ready for Christmas!

I agree - I’ll be making these as a side dish for Thanksgiving - yummy!

I am glad you liked these. They would go well with Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sharing. This looks like a fun one to try out on the family during Thanksgiving.

Onions are a staple in Switzerland and Peter’s family make all kinds of onion dishes… this one looks terrific and maybe now I can compete with his sisters in the “great onion cooking abilities” department.
