Classic Baked Vidalia Onion
A baked Vidalia onion is a southern classic. I rediscovered this recipe when a friend gave me a bag of Vidalia onions and I was trying to think of how to use them. This recipe is very easy and makes a great side dish for almost anything.
Ingredients
1 Vidalia onion
1 Beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon cube
1–2 Tbsp. butter
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel your onion, leaving the root intact. If your onion sits level, you can leave it alone. If not, cut a thin slice off the root to create a flat bottom
- Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
- Insert a beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon cube into the hole.
- Top the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.
- Wrap the onion in foil, bringing the edges up in the center. Twist the foil together to seal the onion in. Place the foil-wrapped onion on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.
