Roasted Sweet Onions with Herbed Bread Crumbs
I found this roasted sweet onions with herbed bread crumbs recipe in the August issue of Saveur magazine. I love sweet onions, and roasted veggies are my favorite, so this recipe called my name. The recipe called for fresh thyme and oregano, but I didn’t have any, so I replaced them with fresh basil. The onions were sweet and tender, and the herb crust gave them a nice crust and flavor. This was a delicious sweet onion side dish recipe, and it paired nicely with a juicy steak, roasted tomatoes, and creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet yellow onions, cut into 1/2″ thick rings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 5 tbsp panko crumbs

- 1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
How to Make Roasted Sweet Onions with Herbed Bread Crumbs:
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
Drizzle olive oil over the onions, then, using your hands, rub the oil so the onion is evenly coated on both sides.
Season the onions with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place the onions, keeping them as intact as possible, into the baking dish.
Bake, turning onions, until soft and lightly caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together the panko crumbs, butter, parsley, fresh basil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Sprinkle evenly over all of the onion slices.
Continue baking until the topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
