Must-Try Viral Onion Boil Foil Packets is a simple and delicious recipe that brings out the natural sweetness of onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large onions (any variety)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme or rosemary) for garnish
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and slice the onions into thick rings or wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced onions with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the onions are evenly coated.
  4. Tear off large pieces of aluminum foil (enough to create packets). Divide the seasoned onions among the foil pieces, placing them in the center.
  5. Fold the foil over the onions to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam can escape.
  6. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized.
  7. Once cooked, remove the packets from the oven. Carefully open them to avoid steam burns.
  8. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the cooked onions for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste.
  • Use a mix of different onion varieties for more flavor.
