maui onions are lovely and sweet! their non-acidic flavor makes them perfect for grilling or roasting in large slices. you can just eat them like any other veggie and this recipe with zucchini and a bbq glaze couldn’t be easier and tastier!

BBQ Glazed, Oven Roasted Maui Onions and Zuchhini (vegan and gluten free)

Prep It (serves 2 to 4):

• bbq sauce  – i used David’s Unforgettable Balsamic BBQ sauce which is soooo good! i got it at Crafted but you can order it online here!
• 1 maui onion – round slices
• 2 zucchini – sliced vertically then halved

DO IT!:

1. preheat your oven to 400 degrees
2. slice your veggies – make sure your zucchini slices are around the same thickness as your onions.
3. coat your veggies in bbq sauce – slather it on! don’t be shy!
4. put your veggies on a foil-lined baking sheet
5. bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minute but mix up the veggies for even cooking half-way through.
6. finish with 2 to 5 minutes with the oven turned up to broil to get a nice browned crisp – don’t over broil or bake! you still want a slight crisp to the onions.
7. done!
