Vinegar-Roasted Shallots

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2
   Put the shallots in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
3. 3
   Add the oil and vinegar, and toss well with your hands to coat.
4. 4
   Cover the pan tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil.
5. 5
   Bake for 45 minutes; then remove the pan from the oven and gently flip the shallots with a spatula.
6. 6
   They should be beginning to soften nicely and starting to brown.
7. 7
   Cover the pan again, and return it to the oven for another 15 to 45 minutes, checking occasionally, until the shallots are very soft and well caramelized.
8. 8
   Dont be afraid to let them brown in spots.
9. 9
   They should bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in total.
10. 10
    Serve warm or at room temperature, with salt, if you like though I find that these dont even need it.
