Roasted Caramelized Balsamic Onions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450*F.

2. 2

   Cut the onions into halves at the equators.

3. 3

   Remove the skin and any tough outer layers.

4. 4

   Do not cut off the root and stem ends and be careful not to score the layers you don't remove: uncut, the outer layer will better hold the onion together as it roasts.

5. 5

   Place the onion halves cut side down in a 9-inch square baking pan.

6. 6

   Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.

7. 7

   Pour over the onions.

8. 8

   Bake for about 20 minutes, and then turn the onions over and baste them with the pan juices.

9. 9

   Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until easily pierced with a paring knife and the inner rings have begun to swell and rise up.

10. 10

    Serve immediately or at room temperature.
