Equipment

  • Large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Oven mitts
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 4 large yellow onions or sweet onions
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.5 tsp rosemary finely chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel onions and cut into 1-inch thick rounds.
  • Melt butter and oil in skillet over medium heat. Arrange onions in single layer; cook 5–7 minutes to brown one side.
  • Flip onions; sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Pour broth around onions.

Serve as a side with roasted meats or potatoes, or on toast. Substitute beef broth for a deeper flavor. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet over low heat.
