Peel the onions, leaving the root end intact. Make two deep cross cuts on the top of each onion, being careful not to cut all the way through to the base. Place the onions in a clay cooker or a snug-fitting casserole dish. (10 minutes)

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and chopped tarragon until well combined. (2 minutes)

1 hrs
Pour the balsamic-honey mixture evenly over the onions, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Allow the onions to marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor infusion. (60 minutes)
05 Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the balsamic-honey glaze has caramelized beautifully. Baste the onions with the pan juices halfway through baking for added moisture and flavor. (40 minutes)
06 Step

Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs, if desired.
For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the balsamic-honey mixture.
If using a casserole dish, add a 1/4 cup of water or vegetable broth to the bottom of the dish to prevent the onions from drying out.
To test for doneness, insert a fork into the center of an onion. It should be very tender with no resistance.
These baked onions are also delicious served chilled or at room temperature.

Oct 4, 2024I was skeptical about the tarragon, but it really elevated the dish. I'll definitely be making these again!
