What/How would you serve with them? Crackers? cream cheese? They look gorgeous and sound delicious. I need some guidance on serving. Thanks.

Hi, it is a side dish.. Perfect with meat, fish or poultry along with roasted potatoes....:)

Thanks, Piper. I was thinking it was more of an appetizer. It is almost too pretty to be a side. Hard to believe it cooks in just 30 minutes, especially at 220 degrees. Is it still crunchy? Just warmed, and not soft?

You can serve them with toasts.. they are delicuous.. They cook in 30-40 minutes it depends on how big the onions are.. They are not too crunchy but still hold their shape.. you have to check the doneness.. It can alsı be served as an onion salad on top of some greens :))
