Vidalia onion recipes are some of my favorites to whip up. Served alongside a variety of fish and meat, this tender onion is a nice change of pace. Folks find it a fun and flavorful side dish. —Norma Durham, Rogersville, Tennessee

Ingredients

2 small Vidalia or sweet onions

Vidalia onions are just coming in season now,so when I saw this recipe, I knew I'd have to try it. I made one onion as directed in Norma Durham's recipe, but added some Italian seasoning to the second onion. Both were delicious, but we preferred the jazzed up version a tad more than the plain one. I can imagine adding all sorts of different seasonings to this super easy side. Five stars !!
