Barefoot Bloggers: Herb Roasted Onions

What the heck is a Barefoot Blogger?

We're an [extra]ordinary group of cookers and bakers with a love of all things Ina. We'll be testing (and retesting) Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) recipes as a group and blogging about them on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month.

After applying for membership to the Barefoot Bloggers and having passed the strict requirements of becoming a BB, (really, all you have to do is shoot them an email and your in like flynn) I offer my first of Ina's recipes: Herb Roasted Onions. This recipe was selected by Kelly from Baking with the Boys. Thanks, Kelly... I love onions!
This was a simple enough recipe. Ina wants you to use two red and one yellow onion, but I just used one of each. Peel them and cut them into wedges. Leave the root intact so the wedges don't fall apart.

Mix up some lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and whisk in some olive oil.

Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well. With a slotted spoon, put the onions on a baking sheet (don't drink the marinade that remains (it's that good!). Save it - we'll put it over the onions before serving. Bake the onions at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until browned.

Pour the reserved marinade over the onions and serve warm or at room temperature.

The onions were delicious with pork chops marinated in orange juice, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper.
