BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND SHAVED PARMESAN

Category: Sweet Potatoes

5 medium sweet potatoes
1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 large yellow onions, cut in half, then cut into 1/3” half moons
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup shaved parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 450. Place potatoes on a baking sheet until tender, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions, cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 1 hour more, adding water a tbsp at a time if pan dries. Stir in vinegar. Set aside; keep warm. When potatoes are tender, split open and top with onions and shaved cheese.
