Roasted Red Onions with Balsamic Vinegar

Submitted by Tebo3759

"The sweetness of the onion and the flavour of the vinegar make this a hearty fall side dish. If you are using a well aged expensive balsamic vinegar the sugar may not be needed."

Good one Tebo! I cut the cooking time back to 45 minutes (Ilike the onion to still be a bit crisp) and I used sweet onions. Nice addition to the dinner

Excellent! I love roasted red onions. The balsamic reduction was the perfect thing to drizzle on them. I cut the in half wertically before roasting, so they wouldn't fall apart after roasting. This makes a great appetizer or side dish. If you're an onion-lover, this is a must try. I may add some thyme or rosemary next time. Thanx!
