How To Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees

  2. Peel and cut the top of each onion. Use a knife or spoon to hollow out a small well in the center.

  3. Place onions in a baking dish. Add butter into the center of each onion. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Pour a little broth around and inside of each onion.

  4. Cover tightly with foil.

  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until soft and tender.

  6. This is optional but SO good, Open foil, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, and broil for a few minutes until golden.

  7. Serve as a side or honestly on its own. Grab a fork and dig in!

Make it your own:

  • Add a splash of hot sauce for heat

  • Swap butter for herb butter

  • Top with crispy bacon bits

  • Add shredded cheese
