Equipment

8-inch Pyrex baking dish

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter plus more for the pan
1 medium onion peeled and sliced
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a square 8-inch Pyrex baking dish with butter.
Peel the onion and slice it into ¼-inch-thick slices. You should get five slices.
Arrange the slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Melt the butter and pour it over the onions. Sprinkle them with kosher salt.
Roast the onions until the bottoms are golden, about 20 minutes.
Turn the onion slices to the other side and bake them until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Seasonings, especially salt, are guidelines. Adjust to taste. You can double this recipe and use a 9 X 13-inch Pyrex pan or a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Keep a close eye on the onions during the last 10 minutes of baking to make sure they don't burn. Your oven might run hotter than mine. Their edges should be deep brown, not black. Since the onions are so flavorful, no other seasonings are added, but optional seasonings include garlic powder and oregano, using ¼ teaspoon of each. You can also sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese after flipping them. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheated in the microwave at 50% power.
