1

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.

2

Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

3

Add the red onion wedges to the 2nd baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and cover with a sheet of baking paper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes before removing the top layer of baking paper. Place back in the oven to roast uncovered for a further 10-15 minutes or until they are little crispy on the outer edges and soft on the inside. Set aside to cool slightly.

Caramelised nuts
