This is the BEST onion recipe ever!!! I've always loved roasted onions, but this recipe (especially the smoked paprika) is the ultimate in roasted onions! I made no changes to this recipe. I used Vidalia onions. I will certainly make these again.... perhaps even for one of my special holiday meals. Thanx for posting!
