Roasted Red Onions are a great flavor booster for salads, tacos, sandwiches, and grains. This 3-ingredient vegan recipe also makes a tasty side dish.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil) and set it aside.
Peel the onions by removing the outer layer and inner papery skin. When cutting, you can either slice them in rings (and keep them whole) or split them into half-moon slices (and separate them.) Either way, for even baking, we recommend cutting them into ¼ inch slices.
Season them depending on how you cut them:
- Cut into rings: Place the red onion rings onto the prepared sheet pan on a single layer. Brush them on both sides with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper (if using.)
- Sliced thinly: Gently break apart the slices and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Spread on the prepared baking sheet on a single layer.
Roast, flipping (if you are cooking them as rings) or stirring (if you are baking them as thin slices) until softened and caramelized, for about 20 minutes*.
Remove from the oven, and let them cool slightly before using in your recipe.
