These slow-roasted shallots in skins are a testament to the magic of simple, seasonal cooking. By roasting the shallots whole in their papery husks, the sugars inside slowly caramelise, transforming the sharp bulbs into sweet, buttery morsels with a rich, mellow flavour. This technique preserves all the natural juices, resulting in a texture that is remarkably tender and a deep golden colour that looks beautiful on any dinner table.

This versatile vegan dish works perfectly as a sophisticated side for a Sunday roast or as a punchy flavour foundation for other recipes. Once cooled, the softened shallots can be squeezed from their skins and whisked into a sharp balsamic vinaigrette, mashed into a savoury condiment, or stirred through a creamy pasta sauce. It is a healthy, low-effort way to add incredible depth to your home cooking.

  • 450g whole large shallots in their skins

How to make Slow-Roasted Shallots in Skins

Preheat oven to 218°C. Rinse 450g 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.

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