Equipment
- 1 Frying Pan
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 2 ounces grass-fed butter (1/2 stick)
- 2 lbs cipollini onions (peel and trim stem end)
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper ground
- 1/2 tsp ground thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325

- Add onions and swirl around the pan to coat with butter.
- Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Toss to evenly distribute seasonings.

Notes
You can also add other herbs and spices to the onions before roasting to give them additional flavor. Try tossing them with some minced garlic and rosemary, or sprinkle them with a little bit of parmesan cheese before roasting. Enjoy!
