Balsamic Roasted Onions

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Remove the outermost layer of onion skin, spray the onions with cooking spray, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
2. Place the onions close together in a baking dish and roast, uncovered, about 1 1/2 hrs, till tender when pricked with a fork. (The onions will release their juices while roasting and should be soft but not mushy.)
3. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside. Add in the water to the baking dish and stir to loosen and collect the pan juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Add in the vinegar and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 min, reducing the mix to about 1/4 c. syrup.
4. Cut the onions in half lengthwise and brush the cut surface generously with the syrup, allowing it to sink down into the layers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
