Ingredients

  • 6 medium onions, unpeeled and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan)/gas 5.

  2. Peel the onions, keeping the root ends intact so the layers hold together, and halve them.

  3. Place cut side up in a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and vinegar and tuck in the thyme. Season well.

  4. Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, basting once or twice, until soft and deeply golden.
