Ingredients

0.5 cup(1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
4 tspGround Paprika
1 tbspGarlic Powder
2 tspKosher Salt
2 tspOld Bay Seasoning
1 tspDried Thyme
1 tspGround Black Pepper, freshly
4 largeyellow onions (preferably sweet ones, such as Vidalia, 8 to 10 oz. each)
fresh parsley, ( ), finely chopped for serving optional

Instructions

1
Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. Cut out 4 (12" x 12") squares of foil.
2
In a small bowl, mix butter, paprika, garlic powder, salt, Old Bay, thyme, and pepper until smooth.
3
Trim onions at root and stem ends so onions sit flat on a work surface; peel onions. Using a small sharp knife, cut out center core from the top of each onion, leaving the bottom third of core intact (the cut-out center should be about 1/2" wide). Score top of onions in a cross pattern, cutting about 1" deep.
4
Stuff about 2 tsp. seasoned butter into center of each onion, then spread 4 tsp. seasoned butter on top of each; reserve remaining butter for serving.
5
Place an onion in the center of a foil square. Carefully fold up foil to enclose each onion and crease at the top to seal as tightly as possible. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet.
6
Bake onions until tender in the center, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes before opening. Baste with reserved seasoned butter. Top with parsley (if using).
