This is a wonderful side dish, and so quick! I have to confess -- was only cooking for 2, so I used 1/2 purple head and 1/2 white head, and only one onion. I actually kept the rest of the ingredients in the original amount listed, and this turned out great. Obviously, I didn't need to have them in the oven quite as long -- 35 minutes was more than enough and gave a nice charred flavor to the onions. We really enjoyed this!
