SERVES: 4

Ingredients

• 4 sweet onions (medium), such as Walla Walla
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 small fresh rosemary sprigs
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• ⅓ cup water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 

2. Peel onions, leaving the root ends intact. (Cut a thin slice from the root ends, if needed, so onion stands upright.) 

3. Cut 4 crosswise slits ¼-inch deep in the top of each onion. Place onions, cut side up, in a 9-inch baking dish.

4. In a small bowl combine oil and vinegar. Spoon into slits in onions. Let onions stand 15 minutes.

5. Top each onion with 1 rosemary sprig and 1 thyme sprig. Pour water into baking dish.

6. Bake onions, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until onions are very tender. Serve warm.
