Ingredients:

2 onions
320g
1 cup chicken gravy
200g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tsp black pepper
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Onions:
- Peel the onions and chop them into quarters or thick slices, depending on your preference.
- Place the chopped onions in a roasting pan or oven-safe dish.
3. Make the Balsamic Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the chicken gravy, fresh thyme leaves, brown sugar, vinegar, and black pepper.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar dissolves and the thyme is evenly distributed.
4. Combine Onions and Balsamic Mixture:
- Pour the balsamic mixture over the onions in the roasting pan.
- Toss the onions gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
5. Roast the Onions:
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the onions for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
6. Serve:
- Once the onions are done, remove them from the oven.
- Serve them hot as a side dish or a flavorful addition to your favorite main courses.

Tips:

- Choose medium-sized onions for even roasting.

- Slice the onions uniformly to ensure they cook evenly.

- You can substitute chicken gravy with vegetable gravy for a vegetarian version.

- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor if desired.

- Keep an eye on the onions as they roast to avoid burning.
