Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet onions (2 1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

Directions

  1. 1

    Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat to 450°F.

  2. 2

    Toss onions, oil, butter, sage (or thyme), salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan (don't use glass or ceramic, which might shatter). Roast, turning once, until browned on both sides, 30 to 35 minutes total.

  3. 3

    Turn the onions again and carefully add broth to the pan. Continue roasting until the broth is reduced and the onions are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes more.
