Whole Roasted Onions With Thyme Recipe

	Mrspotatohead / All my dishes 2 years, 6 months ago A recipe from either "Gourmet" or "Bon Appetit" circa 1990. The original recipe called for a pinch of sugar per onion, but I never had sugar in the house so have always made them without. Prep:15m Cook:45m Servings:4	Mrspotatohe

Do you think the butter is necessary? I'm trying to find something that calls for little, if any, fat...

And do the onions carmelize or do they just get soft and mushy? Either way is okay, just wondering what to look for!

Thanks!
