How to bake an onion?

[SleepySuzy]

Once lived with a friend who used to bake onions in their skin. They were delicious. Anyone know how to do this? (am I being dim)

Roll in veg oil then roast on a tray on high for 50 mins. I put them in with potatoes to cook.

Thank you

I peel them and bake them with cream and parmesan cheese [greedy] - you don't even need a recipe but there's one here: www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2004/feb/15/foodanddrink.recipes

I've also roasted shallots in their skins with thyme and balsamic vinegar - 3 or 4 roasted for about half an hour and eaten with some cheese and bread is a lovely solo lunch when I'm working from home.

That sounds fab

I know it's not strictly what you are asking, but Ottolenghi does AMAZING stuffed onions that are baked
yum

Oo lovely. I'm happy with any onion recipes. Me and DP love em!
