Viral Onion Boil

Servings: 1

Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion
1/4 tsp Diamond Crystal Salt Co Kosher Salt Flakes 
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp smoked paprika 
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 365ºF.
Cut both ends off of the onion. Use a knife to cut a small circle into the middle of the onion and then use a small melon baller or spoon to scoop 1/4 of the way through the center of the onion to create a well.
In a bowl, melt 1 tbsp of butter and add in the following seasonings: Diamond Crystal Salt Co Kosher Salt Flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
In a baking dish or sheet pan, place the onion onto foil. Add a 1/2 tbsp square of butter into the well of the onion. Then, pour the seasoning mixture on top of the onion.
Wrap the onion in foil and bake on 365ºF for about an 1 hour, until tender. 
Serve the cooked onion on a plate and pour the remaining liquid from the foil onto the onion. Use a knife to slice through one side of the onion and then peel off each layer to enjoy.
