Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, toss the frozen pearl onions with olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Ensure the onions are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step
30 mins

Transfer the onions to a rimmed baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, then stir and add the minced garlic. Continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. (30 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

While the onions are roasting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced to about 1/3 cup and has a syrupy consistency. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Once the onions are roasted, transfer them to a bowl. Pour the reduced balsamic vinegar over the onions and toss to coat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve the caramelized pearl onions hot, warm, or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.

For best results, use high-quality balsamic vinegar. Its flavor will be concentrated as it reduces.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will steam the onions instead of caramelizing them. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
The balsamic glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before using.

    I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used dried. Still turned out great!

    These caramelized beautifully! The frozen onions worked like a charm.

  • Jace Kemmer

    The onions were a little too tart for my taste. I might add a little sugar to the vinegar reduction next time.
