  • Peel off papery outer layers of onions, but do not cut off either end. Cut onions in half from stem through root end. Place onions in dish, cut-sides up. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

  • Remove foil. Using tongs, carefully turn onions over to cut-sides down. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes longer or until onions are tender and balsamic mixture is thickened and caramelized. Serve cut-sides up. If desired, sprinkle with fresh thyme.

Tips

To make ahead: Prepare onions as directed. Cool, cover, and chill overnight. To reheat, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake, covered, about 40 minutes or until warm.
