As they roast in the oven, they become tender and develop a beautifully browned edge that enhances their sweetness. The crunchy, toasted almonds add an irresistible texture, while fresh chives provide a burst of color and a mild onion flavor that complements the dish beautifully.
The finishing touch is the crumbled Cabrales blue cheese, which marries exquisitely with the roasted onions, delivering umami notes that elevate this side dish to gourmet status. A drizzle of Sherry wine vinegar ties all the flavors together, creating a vibrant, tangy contrast to the creamy richness of the cheese. Serve this dish warm or at room temperature, and watch as it steals the show on your dining table!
