Roasted Sweet Onions with Mint

2 large sweet onions (Vidalia, Walla Walla, or Maui), peeled
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut onions in half from top to bottom.

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and mint leaves. Smear mixture all over the onions; place in a small baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Baste with the juices. Continue roasting for another 20 to 30 minutes or until onions are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven. Place onions on a serving platter or individual serving plates.

Makes 4 servings.
