Print Recipe

A simple yet flavorful dish, Onion Boil transforms a humble onion into a tender, buttery, and seasoned delight. This dish is perfect as a side or even a light meal on its own.

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia)

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Fresh parsley (finely chopped, for garnish – optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Onion
    Peel the onion and remove the outer layer. Slice off the top to create a flat surface, then carefully carve out a small well in the center.

  3. Season the Onion
    Place the onion on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Insert the butter into the well at the top. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour the seasoned oil over the onion, ensuring it seeps into the well and coats the surface.

  4. Wrap and Roast
    Wrap the foil tightly around the onion, sealing it completely. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour, until the onion is fork-tender.

  5. Optional Caramelization
    Unwrap the top of the foil and broil for 5-10 minutes to achieve a deeper caramelized flavor.

  6. Serve
    Carefully remove from the oven, spoon any remaining juices over the top, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, use yellow onions instead of sweet onions.

  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.

  • Serve alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
