SLOW-ROASTED BALSAMIC GLAZED ONIONS

Sharing is caring!

Although this takes about 2 hours to make, I guarantee you wont mind it, because it fills your home with a wonderful aroma, and besides, the oven is doing all the work!

I got this recipe out of an Italian magazine a couple of years ago and loved it because it goes great with any kind of grilled or roasted meats. Simply brush some thickly sliced onions with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, place in a shallow pan and cover with foil. Roast for 45 min. at 350 degree’s F. Then uncover and roast them for another 40 min.

You’ll want to use a good balsamic that has been aged for at least 10 yrs. If you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a bottle Trader Joe’s has a great one( another plug for TJ’s!!) but I’m certain you can find some readily available other places.

Once the onions are tender transfer to a platter, and pour your vinegar right into the pan on top of the stove, and on medium heat let it simmer till thick, always moving it with a rubber spatula to scrape up the brown bits.
It didn’t take very long to become rich and syrupy. because of the quality of the vinegar.

Stir in some toasted almonds to add a little crunch, and spoon it all over the onions. The flavor is unbelievable!!!

Buon Appetito!!!

  1. Toni Hi, Depending on how many onions you cook, I think for mine I used abou 3/4 of a cup or so. You just want to make sure after it cooks down to spoon some over each onion.

  2. How much vinegar would you add to the pan?

  3. YES, they rocked!

  16. These are also nice in the Summer on the grill. Right, Marie?

  17. That looks awfully good. I’m imagining some piled on a juicy burger…mmmm.

  18. Absolutely delightful! Onions don’t get enough coverage it would seem since they’re usually associated with “bad breath” but who could resist the color of these? Yum!!

  19. This sounds really good! I also use this Traders brand. Costco has one that’s pretty good also. The thicker the better! 🙂

    About that sausage dish…funny you should mention the peppers, today I heated up the leftover sausage dish for my husband and I at lunch and was wishing it had peppers. My mom made it with peppers too! 🙂

  20. Even onions you make look sexy 🙂

  21. Oven roasted red onions with balsamic vinegar sound really interesting. Another vegetable to try roasting!

  22. I love to use red onions in cooking. I find most people use it just raw. This would go so well the beef Im roasting now for the man.

  23. Mama Mia, slow roasted onions. No wait, slow roasted red onions with balsamic vinegar!

    I love when people turn simple ingredients into gold, or in this case purple is the new gold!
