Ingredients

1 pound whole large shallots in their skins

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Rinse 1 pound whole large shallots in their skins and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until skins are deep golden brown and blistered and flesh is very tender throughout, easily yielding when pierced with a knife, 50–60 minutes.

    Step 2

    Let sit until cool enough to handle. Split open to eat, or slip shallots out of skins to use in vinaigrettes, sauces, or condiments.
