Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. This recipe was developed and tested at its original yield and has not been tested at other yields. Note that only the ingredient list is scaled, so you may need to make adjustments to ingredient amounts, cooking times and equipment sizes in the recipe steps. Scaling could also impact the nutrition analysis. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 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 Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat to 450°F. 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. 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.
