Ingredients
Scale

- 6 small or 4 medium sweet onions, peeled and halved
- 2 tbsp fresh green herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme, or chives)
- Condiments:
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- Baking & Spices:
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oils & Vinegars:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Dairy:

Instructions
- Prepare the Onions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the onions and slice them in half lengthwise. Arrange them cut side up in a baking dish.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, white wine, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
- Roast the Onions:
- Pour the balsamic mixture over the onions, ensuring each one is evenly coated. Cover the baking dish with foil and roast for 30 minutes.

- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the roasted onions with fresh herbs before serving. Enjoy as a flavorful side dish with meats, roasted vegetables, or grains.
Notes
- For extra caramelization, broil the onions for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
- Substitute white wine with vegetable broth for an alcohol-free version.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
