Roasted Onion Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, red onion, Vidalia onion, white onion and brown sugar and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar and Worcestershire and continue cooking until the onions are very soft and a caramel color, another 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted into the onions. Remove the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise and chives. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish and top with the Parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with crostini or crudites.

Steps:

• Toss 1 roughly chopped red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a foil-lined baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400˚, stirring occasionally, until golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool. Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons each mayonnaise and sliced chives and the roasted onions. Beat until combined. Scrape into a serving bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bell pepper, onion, garlic, zucchini, and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl and toss until the vegetables are coated. Spread the vegetables evenly on sheet pan lined with foil and place to the oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until they are soft and are beginning to turn brown around the edges, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Place the vegetables in the bowl of a food processor along with the cream cheese and process until well combined and spreadable; do not process until completely smooth.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spread on soft bread, such as challah, foccacia, or pita bread. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving room between each. (Use 2 baking sheets if the onions won't all fit comfortably on 1.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar and gently flip to coat, keeping the rings as intact as possible. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once, until soft and browning (It's O.K. if some parts get crisp and charred).
• Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. (You want to have small pieces of onion without making a paste.)
• Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and add the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and black pepper. Fold to combine.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with minced chives. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat to 425 degrees.
• Cut onions in half; toss with oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place, cut-side down, on a lipped cookie sheet.
• Roast until tender and cut surfaces are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings; drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the onions to a foil-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss everything together. Transfer to the oven and roast for 35 minutes, or until the onions are tender and golden. Set aside to cool completely.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, chives and the roasted onions. Beat until light and fluffy and well-combined. Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Place the halved tomatoes, onions, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well. Place the tomatoes cut-side down, and cook for 2 hours turning the tomatoes after 1 hour. After the second hour, remove the baking sheet, and set aside the unpeeled garlic. Place the rest of the vegetables and the pan juices in a food processor or blender. Add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to scrape up any bits of flavor stuck onto the baking sheet and add to the food processor. Squeeze out the soft flesh of the roasted garlic into the food processor and add the remaining olive oil. Pulse the mixture until chunky, or puree until smooth, depending on desired consistency. Taste the sauce and season with salt, and pepper, if necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss onions with extra-virgin olive oil and 3 small sprigs rosemary. Arrange onions, cut side down. Roast, without turning, until onions are browned on underside, about 15 minutes. Flip and roast until onions are tender, about 5 minutes more. Transfer onions to a serving dish and drizzle with white-wine vinegar.

Steps:

• Peel and quarter onions.
• In a large bowl stir together oil and honey.
• Add onions and garlic, stirring to coat.
• Transfer mixture to a greased 2-quart square baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, in a 350* oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from oven; cool.
• Place in food processor bowl or blender container.
• Add salt; cover and process or blend till smooth.
• Serve on toast points or crusty French bread.
• Store any leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• Makes about 1/2 cup.
• Enjoy!
