Ingredients
1 large yellow onion
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Trim the ends off both sides of the onion. Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the center of the onion about halfway down, creating a cavity.
- Place the onion in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix all the spices together. Scoop half of this seasoning mixture into the cavity of the onion and sprinkle the rest over the onion’s surface.
- Pour the melted butter into the onion cavity, then add any remaining spices.
- Bring the foil sides together to create a sealed packet around the onion.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the onion is tender and fully cooked.
- Carefully open the foil and serve immediately.
Notes
Add shredded cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
Include chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
Swap the Cajun seasoning with smoked paprika or chili powder for a different spice profile.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the buttery juices.
