A viral sensation for a reason, this Onion Boil transforms a simple sweet onion into a buttery, spice-infused delicacy that melts in your mouth. Perfect as a vegan-friendly side or a unique savory snack.

  • Total Time: 70 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Sweet onion (Vidalia or Walla Walla) – 1 large (15 oz)

Vegan butter – 1 tablespoon

Extra virgin olive oil – 1 tablespoon

Cajun seasoning – 1 teaspoon

Salt – 1/4 teaspoon

Garlic powder (optional) – 1/4 teaspoon

Old Bay seasoning (optional) – 1/4 teaspoon

Fresh parsley (optional garnish) – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel the onion and trim the ends. Use a small melon baller to scoop out the top 1/3 of the center to create a well.

Place the onion on a large square of aluminum foil.

Place the vegan butter into the center well of the onion.

Mix the olive oil with Cajun seasoning and pour it over the butter and down the sides of the onion.

Wrap the foil tightly around the onion and place it in a baking dish.

Roast for 60 minutes until the onion is fork-tender and jiggles.

Optional: Open the foil and broil for 5 minutes for extra caramelization.

Serve hot, drizzled with the juices from the foil.

Notes

• Use a high-quality Cajun blend for the best depth of flavor.

• Ensure the foil is sealed tightly to steam the onion layers properly.

• If you don’t have a melon baller, a small metal measuring spoon works well.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
