Roasted Onions with Lemon
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped
- 1 bunch thyme
- 6 red onions, halved through the root end (unpeeled)
- 3 white onions, quartered through the root end (unpeeled)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Scatter the rosemary leaves and thyme sprigs on the baking sheet.
- Season the onions with salt and pepper; arrange on top of the herbs, cut-side down.
- Remove 4 wide strips zest from the lemons using a vegetable peeler; set aside.
- Cut each lemon in half and remove any seeds; add to the baking sheet cut-side down.
- Roast until the onions are tender and the skins are slightly charred, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender.
- With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water until emulsified.
- Transfer to a small bowl; add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
- Let steep at least 30 minutes; remove the lemon zest.
- Remove and discard the skins from the onions.
- Arrange the onions, lemons and herbs on a platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving.
- (The roasted onions and vinaigrette can be made up to 4 hours ahead.
- Serve at room temperature.)
