FAQs:
Q: Are onions really that good for you?
A: Absolutely. Onions contain quercetin and sulfur compounds that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and may even lower cancer risk. They're also high in vitamin C and prebiotics that benefit gut health.
Q: Can I use other types of onions?
A: Yes! Red onions are great for a sweeter, vibrant result, while yellow onions offer classic caramelization. White onions work too, but may be sharper in flavor.
Q: What if I don’t like strong onion flavor?
A: Roasting mellows the sharpness and enhances the natural sweetness of onions. You might be surprised how mild and savory they become after cooking.
Q: Can I freeze roasted onions?
A: Yes. Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.
By making onions a regular part of your diet, you're not just elevating flavor—you're nourishing your body. So the next time you tear up while chopping an onion, just remember: your health might thank you for it later.
