Ingredients

2 large onions
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs rosemary
black pepper and fresh parsley to serve (optional)

Instructions

Pre heat the oven to 460F / 240c.
Cut the tops and bottoms off of the onions and lay them on separate sheets of foil, cut side up.
Pour a tablespoon of oil on top of each onion, and then a tablespoon of butter on top.
Sprinkle some fresh thyme and rosemary leaves on top of each onion and place the left over sprigs around the base.
Wrap the foil around the onions. Tent it so that they are not super tightly wrapped to let the air circulate.
Place in the oven for an hour until they are soft and buttery.
Brush off the roasted herbs, remove the skins and sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper and some fresh parsley.

Notes

Do not remove the skin of the onions, it will help protect the flesh from the heat.
Don't wrap the foil too tightly. Tent it to let the air circulate.
Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your onions.
The onions are done when they are fork tender.
