    Roasted Red Onion Flowers – with steak

    Date night bone-in ribeye and roasted red onion flowers! You only need five ingredients for this easy and delicious side and approximately thirty minutes for roasting! Blooming beautiful!

    Ingredients
    • 4 red small onions
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
    • Salt and Pepper
    Preparation

    Blooming onions, Preheat grill or oven to 425°F (if using grill, grill indirectly).

    Lightly grease a baking dish (large enough for the onions to fall open).
    Peel the skin off the onion.

    Slice off a little of the root to create a flat surface.

    Cut onion down the middle being careful not to slice all the way through (leave about ⅜” intact).

    Rotate the onion and cut in half again, creating 4 quarters (don’t cut all the way through)

    Cut each ¼ in half creating 8 equal segments all still joined at the bottom.
    Repeat with additional onions.

    Place onions in prepared baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. (Use about ½ tablespoon olive oil, and ½ tablespoon of balsamic vinegar per onion.)

    Season with salt & pepper.

    Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until onions have opened and are nearly tender.

    Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
