Caramelized Onions - Oven Baked - Great For Oamc - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 500\u00b0F.
Spread a large sheet of foil on top of a baking sheet leaving enough to pull around the onions (and seal) once they're baked.
Roughly chop and place the onions in a large bowl. Toss with just enough of the oil to lightly coat. Salt and pepper to taste. You can also use a little cayenne or red pepper flakes if you like the spice.
Put prepared onions on the foil covered tray and spread out as much as possible.
Bake 30 - 40 minutes Do not let onions burn.
Remove from oven and carefully seal the onions in the foil they were baked on.
Set foil packet aside for 5-10 minutes so onions can finish steaming.
If preparing to use as a sauce or condiment, substitute melted butter for the olive oil. I don't use butter if I'm making these to use in my freezer meals.
