Ingredients
- 2 pieces Yellow Onion (medium size, Vidalia or regular yellow, top and bottom trimmed, peeled)
- 1 cube Gluten‑Free Bouillon Cube (beef or chicken flavor, gluten‑free)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened, cut into small pieces)
- 1 teaspoon Seasoning (optional) (chicken seasoning, BBQ seasoning, or any favorite blend)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the onions.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Trim and Peel Onions
Cut off the top and bottom of each onion so it sits flat, then peel off the outer skin.
Time: PT5M
Create Onion Cavity
Using the paring knife, cut a shallow cone about 1 inch deep into the center of each onion, removing the inner layers to form a hollow.
Time: PT5M
Season the Onions
Place the bouillon cube (or 1 tsp powdered bouillon) into each cavity, then add 1‑2 tbsp softened butter and mash it in to coat the interior.
Time: PT3M
Wrap in Foil
Wrap each seasoned onion tightly in a sheet of regular aluminum foil, sealing all edges. Place the foil‑wrapped onions on a rimmed baking sheet or a glass baking dish.
Time: PT2M
Bake the Onions
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour, or until the onions are very tender and the interior is fragrant. If you prefer a deeper caramelization, you can increase the temperature to 400‑425°F and bake for 45‑50 minutes, checking for doneness.
Time: PT1H
Temperature: 350°F
Finish and Serve
Remove the onions from the oven, carefully open the foil (steam will be hot), stir any remaining bouillon on top, and serve immediately while hot and tender.
Time: PT4M
