A delightful caramelized red onion spread perfect for topping toasted baguette slices or as a flavorful dip.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Peel and thinly slice the red onions.
Use a sharp knife to achieve uniform slices for even caramelization.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced onions, honey, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the onions evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the onion slices.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Use a dish that allows the onions to be in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Increase the oven temperature to 420°F (215°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.
Keep an eye on the onions during this phase to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
