Ingredients

  • 3 large white onions cut into 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt separated
  • 1 head garlic pointy end cut off
  • 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Add the white onions to a baking sheet. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt to the onions. Toss the onions until they are all coated in oil. Gather all of the onions to the middle of the pan so they are all in a pile. If they are spread out, they will burn.

  • Run the open end of the garlic under water so that the cloves become wet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and then wrap the head of garlic in tin foil. Place it on the baking sheet.
