A cross between sweet and savory, these Balsamic Baked Red Onions are a gorgeous colorful side dish--perfect for every day or entertaining.

2 pounds red onions (small to medium)
1/4 cup avocado oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (regular is OK too but smoked is nicer - see Recipe Notes for AIP)
2 tablespoons low carb sweetener
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Wash onions.
Cut onions in half and place in a bowl.
Mix other ingredients and pour over onions.
Toss to coat.
Place onions flat side down in a baking dish and drizzle with any remaining spice mixture.
Bake in 450 oven for 30-40 minutes (40 makes them softer and easier to digest). Alternatively, bake at 350 for 1 hour or more to desired doneness.
Serve with the skins on and the extra balsamic liquid either drizzled on top or offered on the side.
