A Savory, Buttery Delight with a Southern Kick

If you’re a fan of rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavors, then these Melted Butter Baked Onions with a Cajun Twist are about to become your new favorite side dish. Inspired by the viral “onion boil” trend sweeping through social media, this recipe takes things up a notch by slow-baking onions in a luscious bath of butter, beef broth, and bold Cajun spices.

The result? Perfectly tender, buttery onions that absorb every ounce of flavor—making them the ultimate accompaniment to grilled meats and roasted veggies or even the star of your next meatless Monday. Whether you’re going for cozy, comforting, or straight-up soulful, this dish brings all the vibes.


Ingredients

  • 4 large onions
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Onions for Maximum Flavor

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel your onions and cut them in half.
  3. Make crosswise cuts into each onion half to allow the butter and seasoning to soak into every layer.

Step 2: Make the Buttery Cajun Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, and all the spices: Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, minced garlic, parsley flakes, and brown sugar.
  2. Stir until fully blended and fragrant.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  1. Place the onion halves, cut-side up, in a baking dish.
  2. Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over each onion to coat them well.
  3. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the dish for steam and moisture.
  4. Cover tightly with foil to trap all that flavor while it bakes.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake for 45–60 minutes or until the onions are soft, golden, and rich with buttery flavor.
  2. For extra caramelization, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions

  • Spice it Up: Add extra Cajun seasoning or hot sauce if you like a bolder kick.
  • Pair It Up: These onions are amazing with baked salmon, grilled steak, roasted chicken, or a bowl of buttery mashed potatoes.
  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded parmesan or mozzarella during the last 5–10 minutes for an indulgent, melty topping.
