Ingredients

  • 2 large red onions thinly sliced
  • 4-6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Evenly spread the onions out on a large baking sheet.
  • Smash 6 cloves of garlic and then mince. Add to baking sheet. Drizzle on around 4-6 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss in order to make sure everything is evenly (and generously) coated.
  • Roast at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes, tossing with a spatula every 10 minutes.
  • Remove onions once translucent. They will reduce in size quite a bit, but make sure not to overcook because you do not want your onions to become crispy.
  • Let cool for around 5 minutes and then use a pair of scissors to chop onion strings.
