I've said it before and I'll say it again - the humble onion is one of the most underrated vegetables there is and baking/roasting them in the oven is one of the many ways you can enjoy an onion either on its own or as part of a meal.

Mise en Place
Photo of all ingredients prepared and equipment lined up ready to go.
Instructions
- Leave the papery skin on and then trim both ends of the onion
- Place in a baking tray
- Season both ends with Salt
- Place under a Grill until the onions start to caramelise
- Remove from the grill and Place a teaspoon of butter on top of each onion
- Sprinkle your herbs over the butter and add a couple of bay leaves to the tray
- Cover the backing tray with tinfoil
- Bake at 200C° for 60-90 minutes
- Spoon over the butter
- Serve with or without the outer layer with the papery skin on - but don't eat the papery skin (it wont hurt you if you do, but it's purpose is to keep the juices in the onion whilst cooking).
Serving Suggestion(s)
Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables - or it goes great with a roast dinner!
