Calories: 102kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup dry sherry
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lbs. frozen or fresh pearl onions, thawed (if using fresh then you have to peel and cook for 3 minutes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine 3/4 cup dry sherry, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and whisk until blended.
- Spray an extra-large baking dish or two 9x13-inch dishes with cooking spray and pour in the onions. Pour the sauce over the onions and stir gently to mix. (You can make ahead to this point and store the dish in the refrigerator until ready to roast and serve).
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. If onions start to dry out, add a splash or two of red wine or balsamic vinegar.
Notes
This recipe can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. To reheat, allow the dish to come to room temperature, and then warm slowly in the oven at 350 degrees F.
You can also make the onions a day in advance without roasting. Store them thawed in the refrigerator and roast when ready to serve.
