These Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions are not just a feast for the eyes; they are incredibly delicious and easy to prepare. The unique combination of ingredients creates a dish that tantalizes your taste buds and leaves your guests asking for seconds.

Ingredients

2 pounds small onions (white or yellow)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the onions and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
Spread the onions evenly in a roasting pan, and roast them in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden and tender, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
While the onions are roasting, prepare the cream mixture. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is warmed through. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If using, add fresh thyme for extra flavor.
Once the onions are done roasting, remove them from the oven and pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the onions. Gently toss to combine, ensuring that the onions are well coated with the sauce.
Return the roasting pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then serve warm.

Enjoy your Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions as a delightful addition to any meal. This dish not only elevates the humble onion but also showcases the rich flavors of Parmesan and cream that everyone will love. Happy cooking!
