Baked Onions
March 27th, 2008 | Posted in Diabetic friendly, Dinner, Recipies, Side Dishes | 2 CommentsI was looking through some Diabetic friendly recipes and ran across this one that sounds really interesting and I’m going to want to try it sometime soon.
You take two to three onions per person. The original recipe called for them to be “cooking size”, but nothing defined exactly what “cooking size” is. I’m assuming medium to medium-small onions.
Without cutting or peeling them at all, put the onions in a foil lined baking dish and give them an hour in the oven at 400 degrees.
When they’re done, cut off the root end of the onions and squeeze the stem end and the cooked onion should come out whole. Butter them and season with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
This isn’t exactly what I’d call a main dish but it’s certainly an interesting way to cook onions. Of course, I’d definitely recommend using a sweet onion such as Vidalia. I’m also certain that using garlic butter would also be an interesting variation.

I have tried this and it does make a good side dish. You can spread the soft onions on bread. I did mine in the microwave.
That sounds like the beginnings of a really good sandwich. Maybe a Philly CheeseSteak or just a good burger.
