Ingredients
Scale
Onions
- 4 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced ½ inch thick
Seasoning and Oil
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Onions: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Carefully place the sliced onions into a parchment-lined baking dish without separating the onion rings. Drizzle the onions evenly with extra virgin olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Make the Cream Sauce: While the onions roast, combine the heavy cream and white wine in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it begins to simmer along the edges, then remove it from the heat and set aside.
- Add Cream Sauce and Parmesan: Once the onions have roasted initially, carefully transfer them to another baking dish, keeping the rings intact. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture over the onions and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top. Cover the dish tightly with foil and return it to the oven.
- Finish Baking: Bake the covered onions for 20 minutes, then remove the foil carefully. Continue roasting uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are browned and caramelized to your liking. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Be careful not to separate the onion rings to maintain their shape during roasting.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the cream and wine mixture for a few extra minutes before pouring it over the onions.
- Use good quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Roasting times may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for caramelization without burning.
- This dish pairs beautifully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
