Balsamic Roasted Onions

3 pounds of onions are .69 at Aldi this week. Here's a great recipe to use them in! Expect to see these at church soon! (I-44 grocery has some great bottles of organic balsamic vinegar really cheap!)

3 large sweet onions (about 1 3/4 pounds)

Cooking Spray

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Estimated Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel onions, leaving roots intact; cut each onion into 6 wedges. Place onion wedges in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; pour vinegar mixture over onion wedges, tossing gently to coat. Cover and bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until tender.

This recipe came from Cooking Light in 2003 and is no longer on their site. Whenever I make this recipe it gets great reviews even by people who don't really like onions. The onions do take awhile to bake so there is some planning ahead involved.
