Such a simple dish that really lets onions take center stage. Some seasonings & herbs, broth & butter, garlic, chilis, and some time to caramelize in the oven. A lovely vegetable side dish.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350 F
Cut the ends off of your onions, cut them in half, and peel them. Lay them in a single layer in a 9" x 13" baking dish. Pour the broth into the bottom of the baking dish. Next, top each onion with butter followed by a good hit of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Finish by topping each one with a few thyme leaves. Drop the garlic and chilis around the dish.
Once preheated, cover the dish and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the dish to a wire cooling rack and uncover. Spoon some of the buttery broth on top of each onion and sprinkle more salt on each one. Return to the oven for another hour + until the onions are golden and tender. To give the tops a bit more colour, I switched the oven to BROIL HIGH and let them sizzle under the broiler for a couple minutes. Set the dish back onto a wire cooling rack and garnish generously with grana padano and a sprinkle of parsley.
Serve the onions with another pinch of salt & pepper & finish with additional grana padano. Simple and delicious 🙂 ENJOY!

Notes

I cooked the onions at 350 which took a very long time in the oven. Were they delish? Totally, but I think I'd try and re-test this at 375 or higher to speed things up. At this point, the recipe works and the onions were smooth and delish, but time consuming nonetheless.
I kind of eye balled the butter on top of the onions, so the measurement is kind of approx. More butter would never hurt lol
