  Roasted Onions

• Was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Egyptians, Indians, Europeans and Chinese also use them as an inexpensive medicine.
• . Colored varieties (yellow and red) contain more antioxidants than white ones.
• Bottom line: They are rich in plant compounds and antioxidants, especially quercetin and sulfur-containing compounds.
• Raw may be the best, but cooked on low hear is still good.

Ways To Prepare Onions:

• Do this job while standing. This puts your eyes further from the onion.
• Skin the onions .Use caution to not take too much of the nutrient laden skin.
• Cut them into halves then quarters.
• Keep them dry so they will take on more olive oil and not dry out in roasting.
• Put them in a small bowl and slather them with good olive oil.
• Place them in a baking dish or pan.

Preheat an conventional oven or convection oven to about 375 degrees.

• Do not cover the pan.
• Bake about one half hour until nice and brown–or the color you want.

These will travel well and will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
