Ingredients

  • 4 onions (6 to 8oz each)
  • ¼ cup olive oil, or a bit more
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, or a bit more
  • rosemary for garnish

Instructions

  • Set each onion on its root end in a baking dish that has been lightly oiled. From top, cut through middle of each onion to 1/2 inch from bottom. Repeat cuts 1/2 to 3/4 inch apart to make 10 or 12 attached wedges on each onion.
  • Set onions, cuts up, in a glass dish. Drizzle evenly with oil, and then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a 375° oven until onions are tender when pierced in center, about 45 minutes.
  • When fully cooked, spoon balsamic vinegar over the top of each onion: return to the oven for about 10 minutes.

Notes

I have baked the onions until done, then removed them from the oven, and returned them topped with the balsamic vinegar about 10-15 minutes before serving.
You can add different garnishes by using toasted pine nuts, pecans or chives.
