Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced into thick rounds Choose sweet onions for a better flavor contrast with the salty bacon.
  • 12 slices bacon Make sure to wrap the bacon tightly around the onions for even cooking and crispiness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or shallow baking pan with foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Separate the onion slices into thick rings or keep smaller rounds intact. Wrap each piece snugly with one slice of bacon and place seam-side down on the prepared pan.
  3. Sprinkle the tops lightly with black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, turning once if needed, until the bacon is browned and crisp and the onions are soft and tender in the center.
  2. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate and serve warm.

Notes

These Bacon Onion Bakes are great as a snack or side dish and can be paired with various main dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid microwaving for reheating to prevent the bacon from becoming soggy.
