Ingredients

4 medium Spanish onions (Choose onions of similar size for even cooking.)
2 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted or salted, your preference.)
0.5 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste)

Instructions

1Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2Peel the onions, leaving the root end intact. Cut a small cross in the root end to prevent them from bursting. Place each onion in a small oven-safe dish or ramekin.
3Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 3 hours, or until the onions are very tender and a nice brown color. Baste the onions with the melted butter in the dish every hour.
5Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
