Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- While the sweet potatoes are baking, peel and thinly slice the onions.

- Remove the thyme leaves from their stems.

- Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the sweet potato halves.
- Sprinkle the blue cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped rosemary over the top.

Tips:
- Ensure to slice the onions thinly and caramelize them slowly over low heat to develop deep, sweet flavors without burning them.
- Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape to avoid a mushy texture.
- Use a good quality blue cheese for a richer, creamier contribution to the dish.
- For added depth, consider garnishing the finished dish with extra fresh thyme or a few chopped walnuts.
- Adjust the sweetness by either adding more or less brown sugar based on your personal preference.
Caramelised onion and blue cheese sweet potatoes are both visually stunning and absolutely delectable. The combination of sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavors makes for a truly memorable dish.
