Onion Boil Recipe


  • Author: Amara

  • Yield: 2

Description

Discover the magic of the Onion Boil—a simple yet flavorful dish that’s taken the internet by storm! Roasted to perfection with vegan butter, olive oil, and Cajun spices, this tender onion delight is both nutritious and delicious.


Ingredients

– 1 large sweet onion, peeled and ends trimmed
– 1 tablespoon vegan butter
– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
– ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)


Instructions

1. First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Next, use a melon baller to scoop out the top center of the onion, creating a well about a third of the way down.
3. **After**, place the onion on a sheet of aluminum foil and add the vegan butter into the well.
4. Then, mix the Cajun seasoning with the olive oil and pour over the butter, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle with salt.
5. Next, wrap the onion tightly in the foil and place it in a baking dish to catch any drips.
6. Then, roast in the oven for 1 hour until the onion is fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Finally, for extra caramelization, open the foil, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and broil for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot, peeling away the outer layer and enjoying each tender layer beneath. Don’t forget to pour any remaining juices from the foil over the onion for maximum flavor.

Notes

Pair this savory onion with a bed of rice, crispy chickpeas, or roasted veggies for a complete and satisfying meal. The combination is simply irresistible!
