This elegant vegetarian side dish of thyme-roasted apples and onions offers a sophisticated balance of sweet and savoury flavours. By reducing apple cider into a syrupy glaze and roasting the ingredients until they reach a deep, jammy caramelisation, you create a versatile accompaniment that pairs beautifully with autumn and winter menus. The fragrance of fresh thyme cuts through the richness of the butter, providing a bright, herbaceous lift to the tray.
Ideal for serving alongside a traditional Sunday roast or as a unique addition to a festive spread, these roasted gems are both comforting and healthy. Using firm Braeburn apples ensures the fruit holds its shape during the high-heat roasting process, while the cider reduction adds a professional-quality depth of flavour. This simple yet impressive dish is a wonderful way to elevate humble seasonal produce for family and friends alike.

How to make Thyme-Roasted Apples and Onions
Boil cider in large saucepan until reduced to 150g , about 28 minutes. Whisk in butter. Season glaze with 1 teaspoon coarse salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm; whisk before using.
Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 218°C. Butter 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Toss onions in large bowl with 2 teaspoons thyme and 45ml glaze. Arrange in single layer on 1 sheet. Toss apples in same bowl with 2 teaspoons thyme and 45ml glaze. Arrange in single layer on second sheet. Sprinkle onions and apples with coarse salt and pepper.
Roast onions on upper oven rack 10 minutes. Place apples on bottom rack. Roast onions and apples 20 minutes. Remove both sheets from oven. Drizzle remaining glaze evenly over onions and apples. Reverse position of sheets. Roast 20 minutes longer.
