As these onion halves cook, the balsamic mixture becomes syrupy and caramelizes the onions, giving them a bronzed caramel color and a luscious, rich flavor.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons dry white wine, reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 medium yellow onions (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 bunch Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine butter and olive oil in 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Whisk in vinegar, wine (or broth or water), sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
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.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
