Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium medium-sized onions Peel and slice into wedges or leave whole for bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating the onions.
  • Salt To taste.
  • Pepper To taste.
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the onions and slice them into wedges or leave them whole for bite-sized pieces.
  3. Toss the onion wedges in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the onions on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden brown, turning halfway through.
  2. Remove from the oven and spoon sour cream over the roasted onions. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, roast longer but monitor to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
