A plate of roasted miso onions in sauce

Miso Butter Onions


Submitted by: Kezia F.
Recipe origin: Southern California

This recipe comes from college senior Kezia, who created a cookbook for Esperenza Community Farms’ CSA boxes. The book informs CSA recipients about the produce they’ve received and gives ideas for how to cook it. If you find yourself with an excess of freshly-harvest onions, here’s how to turn them into stars of the meal, not just supporting characters!

8 onions
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup miso paste
4 cups warm water

Preheat oven to 500°.

Halve the onions lengthwise. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, miso paste, and warm water. Place the onions cut-side down in a high-sided baking dish and pour in the miso water. Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Turn the onions cut side up, baste well, and bake uncovered for another 45-50 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until soft and browned.
