Balsamic Onions

I think it is often forgotten that onions are a healthy vegetable that can stand alone as a delicious side dish.  These are especially delicious when served with meat and potatoes.  I personally love them as my topping to mashed potatoes!  Not to mention, they are easy to make!

Serves 4-6 (as a side dish)

4-5 Small to Medium Yellow or White Onions, peeled and quartered
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsps Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tbsps Sugar
1/3 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
Black Pepper

In a bowl or Ziplock bag, place the onions, olive oil, soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and pepper to taste.  Mix around well so all the onions are coated.  If time is short, you can roast them right away, but honestly, they taste so much better if you let the onions marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.

When ready, place onions in an oven safe dish and roast the onions in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour.  You will know they are done when onions are tender and balsamic mix is reduced and a little syrupy.
