Pearl Onions Roasted

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. pearl onions (can use frozen)
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp. melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°.

Heat 4-6 quarts of water to a boil in a heavy stockpot. Add the onions and blanch them in the boiling water for just one minute. Drain the onions and let them cool slightly.

Cut off the root end of each onion and gently peel off the outer skin with a paring knife.

Place the onions in a large bowl and add the olive oil, melted butter, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mixture to combine.

Spoon the onions into a heavy oven casserole dish and roast in the oven until the onions are tender and slightly golden and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Immediately serve the onions hot from the oven.
