Parmesan Roasted Creamy Onions
Of all the ways that you are used to cooking onions, I am sure that this is not one of them. This recipe is perfect to use as a side dish for any main course.
This dish involves roasting onions and then placing them in a creamy parmesan sauce and baking them once again.
Why this is so special is because the onions begin to caramelize while they are baking. This caramelization brings out the sweetness of the onion.
This recipe might be a new recipe for you however, give it a try and try to convince yourself that you do not like it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of onion should I use for this side dish?
Any onion that is sweet, will work. I prefer to use the Sweet Vidalia onion. This should be sliced in thin rings, but leave the rings together.
How long can I keep this side dish in the refrigerator?
Sadly, I cannot fully answer that. I am not lucky enough to have any leftovers after dinner. However, with a cream based sauce, the dish likely will only last 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze this onion dish?
I do not advise that you freeze this dish. The creamy sauce will not be the same when it is thawed.
