What it is

Roasted onions are onions that have been cooked with dry heat, typically in an oven or on a grill. This process caramelizes the natural sugars in the onion, giving them a sweeter, deeper flavor and a softer texture compared to raw onions. They are used as a base for many savory dishes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted onions to add a rich, savory, and slightly sweet flavor to foods. They are commonly found in frozen dinners, soups, sauces, dips, and marinades. The roasting process intensifies the onion flavor, providing a more complex taste profile.

Health notes

Onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of various nutrients and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated onions and their components. At typical consumption levels in food, roasted onions are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Onions are not one of the nine FDA major food allergens.
