Honey Roasted Vidalia Onions

Karen67's Note:

The owner of the company I used to work at sent everyone a 5 lb box of Vidalia onions every year. This was included on a recipe brochure one year from the farm. I was surprised at how much I liked them, and they are healthy too.

I'm always amazed at how wonderful a recipe can be with
simple ingredients. This was #1 in my book: delicious, easy, healthy,
novel. Served with my posted Lebanese-style meatballs, sauteed broccoli rabe
and plain basmati rice. The sauce alone earns five stars but it was especially good spooned over the rice and I happily lapped it all up! Used a 'Hermiston Sweet' onion grown here in Oregon. Thanks! Will make again soon! Reviewed for Best of 2011 Tag Game.

This is so good! I ate a piece on its own and it's delicious! I did use the cayenne pepper option and it was a real nice touch. There was a nice mix of sweet and spicy that i enjoyed!

I really enjoy using onions as a vegetable, not just a seasoning. This is a terrific recipe! We didn't use the cayenne, but I might try that next time. Great recipe, thanks for posting!
