Yield: 4 onions (8 servings)

4 large sweet onions, peeled

1/4 c. red wine vinegar, or cider vinegar
1 T. brown sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 c. coarsely crushed fat-free salad croutons

Place root end up on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10-12 minutes or until crisp-tender. Invert onto a cutting board. Slice each onion into 8 wedges to within 1/2-in. of bottom; fan out. Place each onion on a 12-in. square of foil coated with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the next 5 ingredients. Brush some over onions; set remaining mixture aside. Fold foil around onions; seal tightly. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425º for 30-3 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully. Place onions on a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining vinegar mixture; sprinkle with croutons.
