Onions are often seen as a humble kitchen staple, but when roasted and combined with a creamy Parmesan sauce, they transform into a decadent side dish that can elevate any meal. Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions are rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a slight sweetness from the onions and a savory, nutty depth from the Parmesan. They are ideal for holiday dinners, special occasions, or even a weeknight side that feels a little luxurious.
